Revisions-Commission
Just looked at Dwight Gruber's great post on his double-stamp luger. My 1918 Erfurt #7240 is a single-stamp, but resembles Dwight's in the multiple Revisions-Commission stamps, and in having no suffix to the serial number. It too has matching numbers, grips included. I initially thought that, as with other military weapons, that the RC stamps meant that the pistol had been checked out some time after manufacture and use before re-issue. It seems to me now that the stamps could indicate a late war weapon of less than acceptable construction. Does that mean that my Luger is not safe to shoot?
