Help ID-ing an early luger

Big Norm:

Those are some nice modified Lugers. Looks like they are doing the adjustable sight on the rear toggle as well

Wes:

Sounds like we have a good Colorado group here. I have a machine shop here in Silverthorne, anyone wants to come by and chat Lugers just let me know and drop me a line. <img border="0" alt="[byebye]" title="" src="graemlins/wave.gif" />

OK, below are the pics of the (what I will now call) the Ã¢??Helper SpringÃ¢?Â. As you can see this Helper Spring is not part of the riveted set that makes up the main spring. You can remove it with out removing the main spring pack. There are no marks on it what so ever. Obviously, this could have been easily made by hand by anyone who knows how to make spring steel. But the question is, has anyone seen this mod on an early before?

It really does beef up the return force. Tried it with and without and the difference is significant.

The last shot is of the rear strike on the frame. Does this look normal? As Dwight mentioned they all get this but just curious if this looks to be excessive.

Any takers on what Ã¢??SS&GÃ¢?Â stands for?
