What is the number beneath serial number?

howieb38 · 05-02-2012, 03:31 PM

On two of my Lugers, both 1939s, one a Mauser Banner Police C, the other a 42, there is the number 8,82 stamped under (meaning below) the serial number on the bottom of the barrel on both guns. This is the only place that the number appears on each pistol.
I can't find any mention of it when I Google it. Does anyone out there know what the significance of this number means??? I have other Lugers, but it only appears on the 1939 models.
