Hi Guys,
I have been doing some additional research on my Luger. I have a friend that has one of those books â??World of Lugersâ? by Sam Costanzo.Volume I I understand that this book is worth big bucks. Anyway , my pistol has very little markings on it. It does NOT have a year on it anywhere. I matched the few markings with those in the book and this is what I deduce: It is a DWM .30 luger caliber and and has a crown and an N on it. This seems to reflect â??a very early modelâ? manufactured between 1900 and 1906. The serial number 5011 was one assigned during 1906. It has a stock lug on it and is in pretty good shape. A little pitting on the left side, probably caused by the holster. Oh yeaâ??the costâ??$298.00 I didnâ??t know (and still donâ??t really) much about lugers, but when I saw it-I had to have it as part of my collection. I posted this under commercial, but thrith be told â??I donâ??t have a clue if it is commercial or military. 1906 or 1930.. (DWM merged with Mauser in 1930 and produced pistols with the same serial numbers as the early years.â??The difference , I think, is that by 1930 they were using 9mm Any thoughts???????? Paul
