Thanks George.

To the "skeptics"-
please check one or several of your DWM military lugers as George describes.

If you would report the date and presence or absence of the inside side plate numbers it would be helpful. Of course only pistols with matching outside numbers on the side plate would be significant.

There are no doubt some incorrectly "restored" pistols, and some replacement side plates with only out side numbers matching.
