Somewhere, in my prowling of the Internet, I encountered the date code; it may have even been here on Luger Forum somewhere.
The date code is the barrel manufacture date. It's on the underside of the barrel, next to the receiver.
It's a 3 or 4 digit number, denoting MONTH of manufacture, and YEAR of manufacture.
In my barrel's case, it translates as September (i.e., Month 9) of 1983.
