Norm, is there a way to narrow down the year by the serial number and other markings? If not, what year range does "Imperial Era" cover?

Thanks,
-Mark

Hi Mark, The "Imperial Era" as far as Luger collectors are concerned means anything earlier than Nov 1918 when Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated. I don't collect Commercial Lugers so can't help much with a date for yours, but I would think about 1914. Maybe a Commercial collector could narrow it down further.
Regards, Norm
