Stock Lug Data Survey
I am collecting serial number data to try to pin down the changeover from no-stock-lug frames to frames with stock lugs on 1913 Lugers, both DWM and Erfurt, and the range of 1914 pistols with no stock lugs.
Please post (or send me) the serial# of any 1913 DWM or Erfurt pistols -with- stock lugs which you own or know about. Also, if you can report the serial# of 1914 DWM or Erfurt pistols -without- stock lugs please report that as well--also include the inspectors's stamps present on these pistols.
Serial numbers from 1920 property marked "two-date" Lugers and Police reworks which retain their original serial# are valid for the purpose, as are East German and Russian reworks which retain sufficient identity.
It is possible that this survey has been done in AutoMag, and I am simply reinventing the wheel--I have no way to know. If this is the case, I would appreciate being told or, better yet, if somebody would send me the data, this survey will add to it.
When it appears that no more information is forthcoming I will post the results.
