Hello Ron,

In Jan Still's book, IL, on page 13; the table shows that DWM made 25,000 "1908 First Issue" type of lugers.

But the production numbers drop to only 17,000 in 1910, 13,000 in 1911, 10,000 in 1912, 35,000 in 1913, 35,000 in 1914, etc...i.e. DWM does not get back to over 25,000 pistols in one year until 1913.

Do you think the "high" number of 25,000 pistols produced in the first production run tends to support the opinion that these 25,000 pistols were made over the two (2) year period of 1908 and 1909 ?

Regards,

Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" />
