Hi,
Sneaks are actually Lugers that were produced during the 1929-1933 time frame. The are usually found in the "T" and "U" letter blocks, but this time frame included Lugers in the "Q", "R", and "S" blocks also. They are of new manufacture.

There are several different variations of the sneaks in each letter block. You can have a "T" block sneak with a DWM marked toggle, with commercial style serial number placements, or a DWM marked toggle with military style serial number placements. -- Then blank marked toggles with commercial and blank with military style serial numbers. --- That makes 4 different variations within the "T" block. -- Same thing with the "U" block. -- Have never seen a blank toggle in the "Q", "R", or "S" blocks, only DWM marked toggles. These also can have either military or commercial style of serial number placement. --- There are a very few in these letter blocks that were only military Lugers, but most have a sear safety and were police Lugers. The "S" blocks contained some Weimar Navy variations also.
