Magazine stamped #62 w (help)

hello (from France) !

On Ebay there are luger grips stamped "# 62 w". I would like to buy them for my LP08 Erfurt #2662 (with mismatched grips). What do you think about "w" ?? this "w": is it a ww2 stamp ? do you think they would fit my Erfurt LP ? Thank you for advice !!!

laoshi75,

I think the W is more likely to be a worker's mark than anything to do with the number.

The number itself does not look like standard WWI serial number grip stamping which I am familiar with. They will not suffice as a proper "force match" for your Erfurt because there are no Army inspector stamps (c/letter).

Whether or not they will fit is a good question and only to be determined by the actual attempt.

You are right...I imagined that without any imperial stamp these grips (even if they are matched numbered with my pistol) would not be good for my Erfurt LP...but I wanted an advice... Thank you !!!
