more information about the luger
the extractor has a small 48 on the left side. The number 71 is the same as the number on the other parts of the gun
I assumed that it is a 30 luger since there were 30 luger shells with the gun ( How can I determine the exact calibur?)
the barrel s/n is the same as the frame s/n
there is NO script letter under the s/n on the frame only the 48 above the s/n
the barrel is actually 3 7/8 inches from the breachblock to the muzzle
the strap on the holster is sewn with buckle arrangement
stamped in ink inside the holster flap is the number 23 two times about 1/2 inch in height
the spare magazine has a different s/n from the gun
the checkering on the grip goes all the way to the edge. There is NO border
For some reason the "Forum Decorum Document Button" does not completely show up on my web page so I cannot upen it. Could someone send me a copy to ro@pgba.org
This gun was shipped from Germany by my brother in the early 40's. It was not unpacked until after the war. The gun was encased in "cosmoline", wrapped in brown paper and sealed in a wooded box. Another brother who helped my olders brother unpack and clean the gun thinks that this was the origional manufactors box but we have no way of rally knowing
