Ron,
I can only go by the book. In this case, 'The Luger Book' by John Walter, page 75.
"The practice of numbering accessories to a gun was erratic, particularly during the DWM days ...".
So, while neither of us is totally correct, in this case I would say that you are more correct than me. Of course, this assumes that John Walter is correct. I think I will go someplace and chew a finger nail or two.
But Tony will have to put better pictures on GunBroker and give a better description. I don't see $17,000 for this weapon. People can ask whatever they want for anything. They just don't always get it. Pricing anything is not rocket science, its art. With Borchardts and Lugers you are usually only selling one, so you only need to find one person who is willing to pay the big bucks.
