Default Re: Where is this hump located exactly?

Brandon,

I have no pic's of the Hump but it is formed at the very rear back of the frame above the lanyard loop. The back of the frame on DWM's is straight up vertical. Some K-dates, G-dates and 1936-S/42 Mausers are also straight up or vertical. The Hump causes the rear of the frame to not be verical, it has a curved appearance to it. You can easily see it from the side. The Mauser Military lugers are the only ones that have the HUMP, I think! It is interesting Mauser elected to remove that section of metal to return the frame length to the same as a DWM luger! I have always been curious about it.
