The trigger plate looks like it may have been factory installed with both sets of digits stamped with the same die font. I've never seen one double stamped like that.
It's very possible that the serialization error was discovered in a final inspection (possibly duplicating another pistol) and sent back for rework to correct the serial and do other work. Unfortunately, there is not likely any documentation of this. |
Thank you for your input, and for the link to your thread, (you have a beautiful 1936 )
This is very interesting, maybe the sideplate at first belonged to another luger with the serial number 75xx at the factory? Because it's stamped 92 on the other side maybe it was originally intended for luger with serial number 7592, or maybe someone just stamped the wrong digits.
