"Sneak" Luger

Hi Robert,

In the picture of the barrel serial number, you'd expect to see slightly lightened "halos" around the stamped serial number digits on an original finish pistol. Not sure if it's the lighting, but those don't appear to be present. Also, the toggle axle retaining pin would normally be in the white on an original finish pistol.

If this was Mike's pistol, he can tell you much more about it than I could from pictures...

The "8.82" is the bore gauge as measured between protruding lands, in mm. It is what you'd expect on a 9mm pistol. The Weimar proof marks are unusual, and quite interesting.

Congratulations on a very nice Luger.

Marc
