P.S. Look here for a primer that will hopefully provide enough background for you to make up your own mind as to which of Jan Still's classification best suit any given Luger on Simpson's:

Kyrie,
I don't "break out in hives" as this stuff is really not that important!
You use your definition, while many use another; a situation that only leads to confusion.

I know the difference between an "assembled by someone luger" and one produced by DWM or BKIW; such knowledge serves me quite adequately.

I have built several "1920 commercial lugers" by your definition in the last two or four years. Same as many enterprising gunsmiths no doubt did in 1920 and 1930 Germany!

I generally agree with your comments here, save for the one concerning your ability to distinguish between a Luger made by DWM/BKIW and all others. On that claim I have insufficient information to comment.

I would never question your ability to determine if a luger fits your definition of 1920 commercial, and find you quite bold to question my ability to discern lugers according to "my" definition.
