Question about 1911 Luger

John Sabato · 07-16-2015, 09:37 AM

On guns modified for a holdopen post manufacture, you should find a small pin has been installed in the right frame rail. This pin is visible on the outside of the gun. Sorry I don't have a photo handy to show you.

Here's a photo of a 1912 Erfurt that was retro-fitted with a hold open. As Ron has said, all these conversions were done by Erfurt so DWM Lugers have the same small inspection mark. The end of the pin on retro fitted guns was always left "in the white", if it's blued over then the gun has been refinished.

That's the pin up and to the left of the trigger pin, bisecting the edge of the frame rail??? OK, I got it now!

Thanks for the pic! I do seem to recall having this discussion once before, but CRS is causing me all kinds of problems...
