Help ID-ing an early luger

All good advice that I am taking very seriously. I believe the best thing I can do (if I shoot it) is to make a low power round as suggested. Hopefully this will keep the rear toggle from smacking the frame hard and keep the life of the gun up.

What is the "lowest" 9mm round you guys have seen in a Luger?

I will also compare my return spring strength with one that has the compression spring. See how much this "Helper spring" really helps.

Rick: Excellent, thanks for the "SS&D" de-code. Will see what I can find on them.

In conclusion I now know I have a bit of a Franken-Luger. Good thing is it has been done very well and with care. The result is also a Luger that is a hoot to fire and super accurate. I'm going to clean her up, run low loads, and enjoy it for years to come.

Thanks again guys, this forum is fantastic!
