Jack, As a rule of thumb, prior to the end of WW1 both military & commerical luger grips would have had the last 2 digit stamped inside each grip panel, Contract gun were done to the buyers specifications (eg M1908 Bulgarians -- no serial, Dutch contract == many will have the full 4 digits stamps from top to bottom). After WW1, most commercial and some military grips will be unnumbered, until Mauser took over in 1930 when most military grips were again numbered, per existing regulations. TH
