Thanks to all for posting. I consider myself lucky to have stumbled onto this forum. Unfortunately, had to give Luger back to co-worker today after one week of studying it. The main think I learned is that the more I learned about it (mostly through these posts and 'Lugers at Randon')the less I knew about it. Now I need to find one of my own to study.
One last thing about DWM s/n 2577...
This gun had a very black finish, not bluish, the mag had no markings and a plastic end, and the grips were also black plastic with groves running long-ways, from top to bottom. Are there after-market grips/mags for Lugers or could these, especially the grips, be original equipment? This gun appeared to be in excellent shape and I can't imagine why original grips would have needed replacing w/plastic.
