On page 32 he states that 1908 Commercial Lugers have the serial number on the side plate.

1. The Still book shows a picture of a 1908 Commercial with no markings on the side plate.

2. The Kenyon book ALSO shows a picure of a 1908 Commercial with a completely clean side plate.

3. I just bought a 1908 Commercial from Ralph, in whom I have complete confidence, and my new Luger side plate is totally without markings on the outside.

I am rapidly losing confidence in the Aarron Davis book.

Just a thought: Wouldn't it be nice if the forum posted, on a permanent basis, known errors in the references available to all of us? I, for one, would find this extremely useful.
