Figure 2. Right side of the above three Lugers. Top, R.G.34b., middle R.G.136b and bottom R.G. 214. R.G.136b and R.G.214 are unmarked on the right side while R.G.34b bears C/B C/B Imperial military acceptance stamps on its right receiver.
Figure 3. Three Lugers shown in Figure 1, front of frame and bottom of barrel, left to right R.G.34b, R.G.214, and R.G.136b. The left most Luger, sn 61428-R.G.34b, bears an 8,82 military barrel gauge.
Figure 4. Details of C/B C/B Imperial military acceptance stamps on right receiver of 1908 Commercial Luger marked R.G.34b., serial number 61428. The military barrel gauge and military acceptance stamps seem confined to the early 1908 R.G. marked commercial Lugers.
