John:
After several hours I found one reference to the renumbering-- not the one I am looking for--Maybe
Jan can help me.
See WEIMAR AND EARLY NAZI LUGERS, Jan Still, Page 114, Fig 33a.(out of context) "the serial number was ground off the front of the frame (the "r" suffix portion of the sn remained) and a 40266 stamped to match the top. This luger demonstrates that frames were renumbered to luger tops in some reworking programs".
My problem--So much information and so little room to store it.
Hope this is of interest.
