Commercial Luger ID Mystery

Hugo Borchardt · 06-02-2009, 10:27 AM

I was hoping that was a useful mark on the back of the toggle above the serial, but I am fairly certain it is only a scratch.

Sear bar does not appear to be serialized, neither is firing pin or firing pin extractor.

I stripped it down and ran a magnifying glass all over the inside. Very few additional clues.

F, V, and T and S production markings? on frame behind grips.

Side plate is unnumbered but inside carries a single digit "6" or a "9".

The "Geladen" is only on the left side of the extractor.

Thanks!
