looks like a 'b' to me

I'd say welcome, but looks like you've been a member for 6 years - no posts ...

Thanks for the info.

Yeah, I've been lurking for a long while and finally got my first Luger today. I feel like I am worthy to post now. LOL

In the first photo, why is the upper receiver back a small amount? Not far enough for the toggle locked back, maybe just up a bit?
Regardless, that looks like a very nice finish on the gun and I'm wondering about a re-blue. Post a bunch more photos when you can.
And glad you took the plunge into the World of Lugers.

Mateo5594,

I just joined this Luger Forum today, although I've been a member over on Jan Still's Luger forum for years. Just to confirm what others have said, I'm posting a photo reference for a G-date 'b' for you.
