Thanks for the warm welcome guys! This forum has a real wealth of information and I am glad to be a part of it.
On the double date 16" I tried it out with 93 grain loads and it still does not cycle the action as expected. I bet if we chronographed the shots there is some velocity loss going on. I'm more tempted to switch the barrel than I would be to try and get the 16" barrel working. I got the gun fairly cheap so I'm not heartbroken over it.
The Navy Luger shot really well today. The frame is stamped 1917 but the barrel is without markings, ditto the front sight base. It's a nice tight grouper. The frame is 4882a. The upper has no markings aside from DWM on the toggle.
The baby Luger was a delight on the range. I expected it to be balky but it shot through several mags without a hiccup. 115grain Winchester white box was used. I don't know who made it. It has GL on the rear toggle. I will try to upload some photos tonight. The weld on the rear of the frame is a little visible but well finished. The grips are beautifully spliced.
Feel free to ask any questions. I will try to get some pictures of the 1916 Erfurt as it has never been refinished and every single number matches. I have the holster too but it is without any markings.
