I recently picked up this G Date 1936 Luger...probably my only chance to own one. It is a combination of anomolies, but the price was right and it came with an original A. Fischer 1941 dated holster (which will look good wrapped around my BYF41 Black Widow).
1. The Toggle is DWM, BUT has the correct s/n. Checking the literature...Still, Third Reich Lugers, p.27, note at the bottom of the page..."two G Date Lugers with DWM Toggle are reported" and he references Harry Jones in Luger Variations p.193 as showing a picture of one. So, what are the odds that this DWM Toggle is original to this gun? 2. The mag looks to me to be absolutely correct, original and matching. 3. I cannot decipher the s/n suffix under the barrel. 4. Several of the small parts are mis-match...could they still be original to the gun? 5. There is an import mark and "germany" hidden up under the frame above the trigger on the right side. 6. Looks like an old refinish...if done since import why wouldn't they have removed the import mark? (legal issue?) 7. The grips have a "repro" look to them, however the last two of the s/n is stamped on the backs and they fit like a glove. This one may turn out to be a kind of "orphan", but it's sure pretty (and you know how I fall for the pretty ones...the 1912 Erfurt...oh yea, and my wife!) So here's some pictures to hopefully shine some light on it. I appreciate any and all comments...Steve |
