Doubs, I do not mean to offend you. I am only trying to clarify that the addition of the GESICHERT safety marking in production of the Luger, did not occur during production of model 1900's. The GESICHERT change in production did not occur until sometime after the introduction of the 1906 model. If 1900 AE ser# 8592 is actually marked with GESICHERT, then it is a variation and not a change in production. This is evidenced by the model 1900's with 5 digit serial numbers and even model 1906's, which came after 1900 AE Ser. # 8592, not having the GESICHERT marking. Luger books are full of mistakes, and a 3 volume set certainly has room for an error or oversight. My opinion is there are no 1900 models marked with GESICHERT. If there is such a variant, then I welcome more information in support of that.
