Don,

I don't think we are going to come to an agreement about this one.

Dwight, this wouldn't be as much fun if we agreed on everything. I've learned so much as a result of our "discussionments."

Since the Alphabet DWMs began with the suffix "i", I question this poster's knowledge of the subject.

I figured he meant the "G" date lugers, Ks too.

Perhaps but it would still be wrong. The K and G date code Lugers were manufactured by Mauser in 1934-35.
