1920 Commercial Luger - needs confirmation

Dick Herman · 10-11-2015, 09:00 PM

I have a Colt model 1903 made in 1908. The pistol was carried by an US Army Colonel from Illinois during WW2. The gun had been his grandfathers. The grandfather was from the same town in Illinois.

The Colt Historical Reference letter I received states that the pistol was shipped to Hamburg Germany in 1908.

The point is, the applied marks on our toys only provide information regarding their leaving the factory at best.

Too bad our toys cannot give us their stories.
