Newbie has a question

charliem · 05-24-2014, 08:58 AM

Hello, new to the forum. I've been a collector of many things over the years. I just decided to get a Luger. I've come into possession a LNIB Interarms American Eagle Luger, the Swiss design.

Is there anyone that can give me some information on the manufacture date of the pistol based on the serial number 11.00.1682 ??? Any other information would be more than welcome

Thanks

welcome to the forum

yes, I can look it up in my Mauser Parabellum book later this evening, if the author does not drop by. Meanwhile, do a search in this same forum and you might see some dates close to your sn

Welcome to the forum. Those commercial post-war Mauser Oberndorf made Lugers are very fine. You've got a relatively early 9mm Luger as indicated by both decimal points in the SN.

Terry,

Welcome to this forum of Luger aficionados.
Maybe your Luger is not an old collectible, still it's quite a nice gun to have, congratulations.
