The KÃ?Â¼ Luger and its origins

Again, I don't want to get in too deep on this, but in the factories parts were not numbered until the preliminary assembly stage. Parts intended for spare parts would have been inspected, marked and finished (blued) if required, but would not have been numbered. Mixed parts (mixed numbers) pistols were made up from cannibalized pistols at some point by persons unknown (depot, unit armorer or American gun tinkerer).

If a spare part was numbered to a pistol when it was installed, the numbering was done by the installer (factory, depot, unit armorer, or AGT).
