Stu,

Thanks for the excuse to examine some Lugers!

1911 serial#7638 -no- RC parts!
1912 serial# 454 (rebarrelled) RC marked frame (trigger guard)
1914 LP-08 serial# 3511 RC marked frame (trigger guard)
1917/18 serial# 8895s RC marked receiver (hardness), RC marked rear toggle piece, RC marked frame (above trigger)

I know that this doesn't approach your maximum-parts question, but it will give you a start for a survey. And I suspect, as you, that it is a coincidence, that all the parts went into a bin and were assembled into guns as the parts came to hand.

I have wondered about the distribution of RC-marked parts over time, so I applaud your taking this on.
