I agree with you folks about the many varations available during this period in the Luger's history. It can be confusing, misleading, exhillerating and downright fun to collect these pieces.

The only one I have in my rather limited collection started as a 1916 dated DWM with Infantry markings on the grip. It's current incarnation is an 8" .30 cal. export piece (GERMANY on frame and mag). The "new" barrel has the last 3 digits of the serial number, and the blueing was obviously not as good as the original finish on the frame.

I betcha there a tons of 1920 era Lugers with a variety of configurtions out there waiting to be "collected" one day.
