ID a unique bringback Luger

drbuster · 12-05-2014, 12:14 AM

George, I hate to churn the pot, but I own a 1906 American Eagle 9mm, serial #25755 with the "PRV" marking in the frame well. I believe someone in the past on the Forum asked for a tally of others with lugers possessing the PRV mark and most were 1906 vintage to the best of my recollection. I believe the meaning of the PRV may not be what we think but I have no better explanation than yours. My 1906 AE has no other proofs.

It's interesting that Sturgess & Gortz make no mention of the 'Prv' marking.
