Jerry,
* Thanks a bunch. Truly appreciate your thoughts.
* Hope your rehab is going well. Trap shooting buddy of mine had two knees done sequentially. Took slightly more than a year; but, he's prancing around now like a 20's Flapper. Stick with the physical "terrorist's" regime & it will all work out partner!
* Brevity is a virtue; however, not my strong suit. Just another night on the Net cracking the ole books @ Luger U. Convinced one mistake avoided by someone will make it all worthwhile.
* In fairness to Ronnie, I have exercised an educated guess on a few key items. We should allow him some time to respond. However, the story on this puppy is rapidly unfolding & the Forum's brain trust have the fat lady three arias after mid-opera's intermission.
Chuck,
* Can you post either Luger's year date, toggle markings/Mfr, general S/N range, marking location(s), or any further definitive details??
* Probably missing something; but, the only examples I recall having both the Army acceptance stamps of #46 & #47 coupled with the commercial Proof of #48 are some Dutch Banners & 1940 Police Banner's diverted to the Army.
* Can't say I have ever heard/read/seen of any sE/PS or sE/RBL marked P.08's in any Luger reference book/venue over the last 35 years.
* I'd have less concerns if you told me these PS & RBL rigs had small caliber pocket pistols. The 9mmP was usually reserved for front line Military troops. Even the Police were quasi-military & they had to take the leftovers.
* But, hey, I'm always open to learn & virtually no-one has seen everything.
Respectfully,
Bob
