Frame ID & Date?

jonnyc · 12-17-2008, 01:26 PM

I ain't no photographer, but is it possible to determine manufacturer and approximate date for my Luger frame? Pics aren't great, but I can re-shoot anything if it helps. The only markings I can find are "4641 n" on the front, and "GERMANY" on the front left side.
Thanks.

Yes, it is possible to narrow it down to DWM or Mauser (Erfurt and Simson have many obvious acceptance stamps)....

But I can't see any photos, they must not be hosted here?

Hmmm...I'm reading your post and looking at the pics right now.

I copied them over from Photobucket. Is there something else I need to do?

Yes, while at work, many folks are not allowed to see pictures on Photobucket and the like, it is one reason we ask that photos be posted here (hosted here on this site, not somewhere else)...

I am sure someone will come along and look at your photos.....

Well hurry home!

In the meantime, I'll see if I can figure out how to repost them to the sight.
