My New Luger...

[Pete Ebbink]

Just posted some photos in the Member's Gallery of my Reno gun-show acquired 1906 DWM Portuguese M/2 luger.

Gun is serial # 2866, original finish, all matching, with a Portuguese stamped magazine, "AE" stamped holster, drift pin, and a "repro" cleaning rod. It has a 4-3/4" barrel and is in .30 luger caliber (7.65mm).

The Portuguese proof of a "circle/triangle" appears on the left side of the frame, on the back of the frame above the lanyard staple, on the underside of the barrel above the serial number, and on the bottom of the wooden magazine.

The left side of the extractor is marked "carregada" and the thumb safety marking is "polished".

Question : The front frame well (where the take down lever spindle runs through) has a "flamming bomb" proof mark. Is this typical for a commercial 1906 Portuguese gun ?
