Someone smarter than me can wade in one this, but it has long been my understanding that the designation of "1914 model" is some what inaccurate due to the fact that the stock lugs started appearing in 1913 (not sure on the hold opens, but I do know that many thousands of Lugers had been modified and were turned in for modification in July/August 1914 when the war started). I would say that you actually have a so-called 1914 model....I don't know if the 1913 date would make this more desirable or not...I would tend to think that they would bring a slight increase over a 1914 dated.
