Pete, if you have Harry Jone's book Luger Variations with color additions, on the first page is a photo of one, serial # not mentioned but the toggle has the stamping "system borchardt-luger". The info says Erste originalpistole (baujahr 1899). I suppose this might be the first one produced. Interesting you made this posting, I was just re-reading his book today.
