Is it just the photograph, or does the serial number on the frame appear to be pantagraphed? The number is slightly out of focus, but it appears to have the cutter marks of a pantagraph. Also the letter suffix appears to be an incomplete g (missing the left side of the bottom of the loop on the g). The numbers do not appear to be the proper case for a Luger serial number. Notice that the top of the three (3) is rounded, and I believe all were flat on the top if correct. I have seen a five digit 1920 Commercial with the remnants of a letter suffix, but with this being a four digit pistol, I would have thought they would completely removed any original suffix and replaced it with a letter suffix in the series beginning with i.

What does everyone else think about the serial number?
