Both my 1918 LP-08 and my 1920 Commerical police lugers have the suffix on the barrel. My 1913 Erfurt, my 4'1 bfy, and my other 1920 Commerical do not.

But I have seen lots of lugers at gun shows that do and don't; so I could not get a sense of any rules.

Dwight is correct; most of the good luger books seldom show the underside barrel views, so it is hard to tell from these book...

I was hoping there might be some "fast & true" rules; that could be used to determine if a luger was messed with depending on if it should have a barrel suffix or not...just another aid for authenticity checking...
