Fonts
Hi Luke,
Your observation is the same on all Mausers. They used different size dies and different style dies for different parts. If your Mauser Luger HAD the same style 3 on all the parts it would be a fake! I'm not exactly sure of the answer, but it has to do when the parts were assembled in the white, and then numbered and disassembled to blue, and then re-assembled again. These Lugers were not assmebled, numbered, stamped and blued by just one big dipping in a tub while completely assembled all at the same time. They had to have big racks of barrels, frames, parts, that were assembled in the white -- then accepted and test fired, then dis-assembled, numbered, and blued, and then assembled again, is my opinion on why the different style fonts and ect. Had to take a lot of time to do this, but that is why the fit and workmanship was so good. Hope that helps answers some of your questions. -- Bill M
