Grips are part of the pistol, methinks

Hi Mike, Okay off the top of my head. As I said in an earlier post K-Dates and G-Dates are a crap shoot. Some are numbered and some aren't. Next the 1936 Lugers are mostly NOT numbered. The 1939 Code 42 Lugers are mostly NOT numbered, but the 1939 S/42 Lugers ARE numbered. The rest should be numbered except the black bakelite, which are not numbered. This applies to Military Mausers. Hope this helps.

<hr /></blockquote>Hi Frank,
Definitely does and I thank you.
Unlike Michael, I guess I lucked out on my first & only (so far) Luger.
I think if I am serious about getting into collecting Lugers it's time to heed the advice posted here and on other parts of this forum and invest in some of the reference books out there.
I bought Clawsons book when I started collecting 1911A1's so it makes sense to do the same for lugers.
I want to concentrate on Third Reich era Lugers.
Any book recommendations?

Thanks,
Mike
