Thanks George. This is all of my 1910s but I do have a 1911 I'll dig out... humm, nope, that is an Erfurt...
I didn't go with Asterisk because the center is empty. I could not get a good picture of it (as you can see). It sure could be though. However, the 6 pointed star didn't carry the same connotations in WWI as post '33.
I can go with either. Sure glad you have more to check as it is rather interesting and I'll pen it into Sam's book. Just out of curiosity, how many lugers are we talking about and do they cover a wide range of numbers (time)?
Thanks again
Gary
Actually, the reason this beautiful piece is that price is because of this super secret marking right here. An underground Jewish organization that ferreted guns out of Europe to Israel, a forerunner of the American Hadassa Guns for the Freedom of Israel group. Trust me you'll never find another like it........Hay! come on, would I lie to you??
