Its So Addictive!

Roger,

Most of the Mauser manufactured Lugers key the trigger plate uniquely to the individual pistol by putting the last two digits of the serial number on the outside, and the first one or two digits plus 1 on the inside.

That confirms that you have the original trigger plate. Only one plate out of 10,000 will be marked in this way.

The fitting of the trigger linkage was done by hand, and is fairly unique for each pistol. It's part of what made the Luger so expensive to manufacture.

For a few years, the first one or two digits themselves appeared on the plate, and some of the plates at the end of production (1942) didn't have anything marked inside.
