Po8 with three digit serial number

Neil Young · 07-25-2014, 08:19 PM

There are many, many Lugers with a 3-ditit serial number--it is certainly not unusual. Some have single digit s/n, some have two digits, three and four. Commercial Lugers can have up to five digits. Military P08's were generally made in blocks of 10,000 with a lower case letter suffix, that shows up below the serial number on the front of the frame, or blocks with no suffix at all. All that I have said is general. If you want to know specifics or when a particular Luger was made, you can check the block data in Still's books.

BTW, welcome to the forum.
