German Nitro Luger Valuation

[lugerholsterrepair]

Ron...The barrel is numbered to the frame but it is a replacement (note that it does not have a witness mark).

I have never heard this before...That just because a barrel does not have a witness mark it is a replacement?

Perhaps you could enlighten this poor student and explain further?

I have a 1937 Krieghoff that has no witness mark and I know it is not a replacement barrel.

Took another look at the photo's...Seems it has a half of a witness mark. BUT, this brings up an interesting question. The witness marks were meant to line up..one was placed on the frame and one on the barrel.

It is obvious that a barrel could be installed without the help of a witness mark. In this pistols case it could be the original barrel, just no witness mark?


Thanks!
