The "X"

John Sabato · 01-14-2002, 02:11 PM

Jim,

Most Luger serial numbers (but not all) contain an alpha letter suffix that is an integral part of the serial number. You will find this suffix on the frame near the the front of the trigger guard as yo have described. In your case your serial number must include this "X" on any official paperwork (like licensing and registration paperwork if any exists) to uniquely identify it from others.

To leave off this suffix can cause your Luger to be confused with the many others of the same serial number. There are many cases where a Luger has been identified as Stolen because it was confused with another when one or both owners failed to note the letter suffix on their ownership papers or bill of sale.

regards,

John
