Serial number marking on parts

Balder · 03-15-2010, 02:13 PM

Gentlemen,

It's funny how I keep noticing new things about my Lugers as time passes - or rather, it's funny how I've missed them earlier.

This time I am a little confused about the procedure of marking small parts with the last two digits of the serial number.

My US test Luger doesn't have any markings on the toggle bolt, nor do my DWM 1911, LP DWM 1916 or Erfurt 1918. When I get to DWM 1920 and upwards to byf 1942 the two last digits are suddenly there. Can anybody shed some light on this?

Also, the magazine release is not (visibly) marked on any of my Lugers. Why not, since they seem to have gone overboard on marking most other parts?
