Luger Forum member, Steve Anderson, would like some information and thoughts about his DWM Alphabet luger.
Here is some basic info :
1. DWM Alphabet luger.
2. Serial number 2765i.
3. 7,65 mm caliber with 4-3/4" barrel.
4. Has "Germany" stamped on front of frame.
5. Has old BUG proofs on underside of barrel. Bullet bore stamping and serial number not visible on barrel.
6. Has a Swiss cross/sunburst on chamber.
7. Has what appears to be a faint Crown/N proof on the left side of the receiver.
8. Does not have any little Swiss cross proofs or Bernerprobe proof marks, anywhere.
9. Falls in the middle of the Abercrombie & Fitch contract serials.
10. Barrel lug is not stamped "65".
11. Other small parts numbered "65" in commercial style.
Others on Jan's Board have commented on the long frame/receiver and the fact that the grip safety is not "65" stamped along the left side.
