Swi 1120

ESU · 08-20-2007, 12:03 PM

Was wondering if any of you esteemed gentleman could ID a unit marking on a luger I was looking at? SWI 1120 is the mark?
Thx in Advance,
ESU

I bet it also has a sear safety and / or magazine safety; here is one I had for sale a bit ago; http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...threadid=16476

I will have to look up the police unit meaning tonight if no one answers you,

Ed,
thx for the reply, it has a sear safety, not sure about a mag safety.

Thank you sirs,

Cory,
Don is a lot smarter than me but his typing isn't much better than mine. The district is Wiesbaden (not Wiedbaden).

Thx Ron, Weisbaden makes more sense, at least I heard of it,

Wow! I'd better start using spell check. I hope I don't do this too often in my book.
