Need help ID Luger

metow2 · 03-29-2017, 10:16 AM

Last night I slowly looked through all the drawers and cabinets trying to find the side plate for the Luger. I did find a side plate and it is marked 07 like the rest of the pistol but it won't fit due to the sear safety. After much information from everyone I looked at pictures and it looks like this side plate I found is not cut out. It seems like my grandfather was also looking for the correct side plate with no avail. I guess I'm back to square one. Any suggestions ?

Since it is the same number, I would modify it to fit the Schiwy safety. Members of this forum, if coaxed with a little candy, could measure the cutout for you to take to a Luger machinist to finish your grandfathers P08. I would recommend Gerry Tomek or Olle Fornehed here on the forum. They both do excellent work.
