Interesting Luger with an interesting history I thought to share

1933 Konzentrationslager Death Head (Totenkopf)

Some parts give us clues to the date of this gun (A) In 1932 the Reichswehrministerium issued an order that the rear main axel pin be serial numbered to the gun. (B) The grips are walnut and numbered to the gun. (C) the early Crown N Nitro proof which only appears on the breach block. (D) The Sear safety which when the side plate is removed drops a pin into the sear itself and stops the gun from being fired (a Police specification). (E) Last two digits of the serial number on the trigger. (F) Modification for the magazine safety (1932) that wasn't installed because it was cancelled probably placing the issuance of this gun on or about 1933.
