Please Help Identify Unit Marking on 1916 DWM

bdome · 04-19-2011, 12:41 PM

Just purchased my first Luger. What intrigued me about this one over the others I had to choose from was the unit number stamped on the grip strap. Also of interest were the notches filed below the unit numbers into the grip strap. Could this have been the owner's personal ''scorecard'' ?? Any opinions would be appreciated. Since this is my first, I'm unsure of the going price on these but I'd appreciate input as to whether $1k was too much. Bore was bright with good lands. There is blueing wear on all the high points and the back strap is almost bare with a patina. Thanks again on helping out this ''newbie''.
