MG, they are correct. To properly ID YOUR specific pistol include the following:
Maker (DWM, Erfurt, Mauser etc.); Barrel length; Caliber; Year Date (if any); Serial number on the frame INCLUDING any suffix letter that appears below the numbers (example 1234a or 1234e). (Not all Lugers will have a suffix letter but many do.) I'd also include if it's a Navy model or Artillery model. The Artillery model can have the same serial number, year date and maker as a standard 4" barrel model as each had it's own serial range that duplicated in some years.
If it's a mis-match between the frame and cannon assembly, report the serial numbers on both. If it has police or military unit markings, include them.
With the above data, your specific Luger should be easily identified.
