Re: luger id???
Hi David,
Iâ??d say â??1920 Commercial.â?
The term 1920 Commercial is really something of a slop chute category. Many of the Lugers reworked and sold commercially in the 1920â??s have something atypical about them (parts proofed but not numbered, not numbered but marked â??Germanyâ?, commercial proofs on an Imperial military marked and numbered pistol, both commercial and Imperial military proofed, parts correct and correctly numbered, but showing signs that Imperial markings were removed, and so on, and on...).
Itâ??s long been suspected that DWM was not the only game in town when it came to reworking Lugers for commercial sale. All these variations strongly suggest there were any number of other concerns (some likely quite small) that reworked Lugers for sale outside of Germany.
Anyway, thatâ??s just my $0.02 worth, offered entirely FWIW....
Best regards,
Kyrie
