Jimbo's thread re Tom Armstrong's pristine Mauser luger with no numbers on the rear toggle link pin caused me to attempt a search for "authoritative" words on the subject. On page 214 of Gortz's encyclopedic book Die Pistole 08 are photos depicting this issue. Apparently, if I can unscramble the German, serial numbers did NOT appear on the rear toggle link pins BEFORE 1932 and DID appear after March 1932. Am I reading this correctly? If true, early Mauser lugers would be correct NOT to have numbers stamped on the rear toggle link pin.
