I have a DWM 1911 Luger. Originally confiscated by a Boer Sergeant in Namibia (South West Africa) in the 1914 war between the Britts and Germany in Namibia. As South Africa was a British Colony, the Boers had to join the fight. The Boer Sergeant was my great grandfather.
The Luger was taken from a German Sergeant who was commander of a machine gun post. (Or so the story goes)
The serial number is 199 and all the parts have 99 on it.
At the back of the grip (bottom) is LP 366
Can anyone tell me about this LP 366 and what it means?
