CORRECTION!

I have just determined that the DWM listed as HP10 in the table in my original post has the serial number 33v -- not 33u. This adds an interesting twist. It appears that these Lugers may have been assembled in 1933-34 by Mauser from parts transferred from BKIW in early 1930. I'm no expert on Luger production history and would appreciate comments from those who are.
