[quote=Jasta2;170808]...Is it possible that a commercial Luger end up with a dbl date and no military proofs? NO, and the only double dates are 1920 1920's and 1921 and 1920 --- There is no such thing as a double date in the sense you are discussing. Well, except for the 1918/19 that you see, but they are few and far between...

Or maybe it's just that when reworked that one stamp was done incorrectly. Not sure what you mean...

I take maybe this was built from left over commercial parts and dated 1918, na, does does not sound right. NO, that is impossible, and if from left over parts, it was very unlikely that it was done by DWM in my opinion.

From above, I stick with what I said; this is a rework done by one of the smaller contractors who was making money.
