need help with 1921 chamber stamp

[mrerick]

Hi, the proof marks are appropriate to your pistol, and represent early Weimar period acceptance of the pistol.

IIRC all the Haenel Schmeisser milled magazines had aluminum bases. It looks like someone replaced this with a wooden base at some point.

The full serial number with suffix helps confirm that the frame and receiver are correct for the date (1921). (reference to 1922 was a typo...)

Is your Luger a 9mm gun?

Where is the 1922 coming from?
The chamber date is 1921!

Datig states that he has observed chamber dates of 1920, 1921, and 1922. on 'new' Lugers manufactured/assembled for the Army. (pg 131, The Luger Pistol).

Right,
but has nothing to do with the OP pistol.
Ed made a typo, later corrected, and then Marc continued the "1922" in his post.

The OP pistol has a clear 1921 date on the chamber- that was my point.
