Gentlemen:

I have been in search of a K Date Luger and found this one for sale by FGS Inc. on GunsAmerica. I asked for and received the attached additional pictures. I've researched Jan's book "Third Reich Lugers" on the K Dates and this example seems to fit with the descriptions and photos. One thing I did notice was that the side plate does not have the scriptic S along with the two-digit SN. According to Jan, these either had all their small parts marked with a scriptic or gothis S, or none of the parts were so marked.

As this example has the scriptic S on all parts with the exception of the side plate I'm not certain of its authenticity. Any thoughts on the authenticity of this Luger or other feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone in advance,
Bob
