Fresh new Luger owner checking in

Most 1939 's had the last two digits of the serial number inside. Get the most!!! So many also without a serial number. The letters inside are inspector marks. The grips are probably fine and correct. Bill

I reviewed the FAQ, but I wasn't sure. Bill, thanks for your opinion. I was reluctantly thinking they might be replacements due to lack of serial number. But, I hope you are correct.

The fact that they are not numbered will always have to be "explained" as an exception; I'd just assume they are replacements and move on.

Don, either way, I really like your philosophy about "moving on". I bought this Luger on a complete whim, and to just own a Luger and have some fun with my ownership. Two weeks ago I knew nothing about Lugers. Now I know more about what I don't know. Or something like that.

Thanks for helping with my education.
