I haven't looked at Davis for quite a while, and cannot find my copy right now. The most egregious error I recall, was describing late Mausers as having strawed parts when, in fact, they do not. The rest of the text simply cannot be trusted. Best thing to do is to use the identification matrix at the beginning to determine what variation you might be looking at, then look it up in Kenyon's "Lugers At Random", or one of Still's volumes if it is a military or Weimar Luger.
