Artillery Luger Shoulder Stock Photos.

John Sabato · 09-04-2013, 12:20 PM

We don't seem to have a good way to research shoulder stocks...The purpose of this thread is compile a large album of good quality photographs of Artillery Luger shoulder stocks that can be used by all members to compare and evaluate stocks they may come across in their collecting activities.

If you own an Artillery Luger Shoulder Stock, or just have some good photos of these stocks, please post photos of it (or them) in this message thread. Please upload your photos directly to the Lugerforum using the "Manage Attachments" feature in the advanced mode... Please do not post your photos to external sites and just link them here. Many members cannot SEE photos posted on external websites because their computer location (usually their employer) filters those sites...

Try to take and use good clear focus closeups of both sides of the stock, and both sides, and the top of the stock iron, and show any stamps, cartouches, or proof and inspection marks.

Please describe in your posting, whether or not the stock is Original or Reproduction, the manufacturer (if known), the serial number including letter suffix if it has one, and anything unusual about your stocks...

This thread will likely become a "sticky" reference in this forum...thanks in advance to all those will contribute to this photo collection.

Who will get this Photo Album Started by posting first ?

Something to start with.

This stock is numbered to the gun (1917) 1162f.

1917 169th Baden both matching. Compliments of George Anderson~~~~

John Sabato · 09-04-2013, 04:17 PM

Great submissions guys... keep it up!

cirelaw · 09-04-2013, 04:55 PM

A description from George Anderson the previous owner is included below~~~

George Anderson · 09-04-2013, 04:56 PM

Great idea John! Here are a few more.

First, a 1917 DWM with standard Crown/S acceptance stamp.

George Anderson · 09-04-2013, 05:00 PM

Next, a common 1914 Erfurt.

George Anderson · 09-04-2013, 05:02 PM

Another but earlier Erfurt Crown/G. This one is numbered in the wood rather than the iron.

George Anderson · 09-04-2013, 05:06 PM

Next, an earlier 1914 Erfurt stock this one numbered 14 with a Crown /H and something extra. A friend in Italy has another such stock with stamped screws numbered 50.

George Anderson · 09-04-2013, 05:09 PM

A 1936 Mauser Banner Siamese contract.

George Anderson · 09-04-2013, 05:13 PM

Last, a Mauser contract Persian.

Anyone have any Imperial Navy stocks?

John Sabato · 09-05-2013, 07:34 AM

Hey Jerry. Please open a similar thread in the Navy Luger forum for Navy Stock photos. It will simplify research for the newbies. Lets keep this thread for Artillery Stocks only.

tharpo · 09-05-2013, 08:40 PM

My 1917 Artillery stock Sn 7412a matching to gun.

lugerholsterrepair · 09-06-2013, 05:45 PM

John, I have some beautiful unit marked stock photo's..Can I send them to you for posting? I tried your old email address but the one I have on file came back as no good.
Jerry

wolfganggo · 09-08-2013, 03:14 AM

crown S stamp
556a
comes together with an 1916 Holster and an cleaning rod with brass tip
i my opinion this set lies together for a long time

or an collector assembeled it

. things are matching (unmarked, probably dwm cleaning rod, brass tiped - early one), crown S (for dwm ??) on stock, stock serial checked according to stills book, so i believe that the Holster manufacturing date will be productiondate of the whole set .....

Thanks to Eric for posting Jerry's photos before I could get to them.

Jerry, you have my email address for the future, please purge the old email address from your records...

and so where is Ms. Ellie? You may be the leather master craftsman Jerry, but she is the Computer Operator and Photo Poster extraordinaire! Tell her I said Hi!

cirelaw · 09-11-2013, 04:55 PM
