Luger year by serial?

[Norme]

Hi Tom,
Yes, I could go down stairs to the gun room and look it up for you in Jan C. Stills' "Imperial Lugers" but I'm not going to. I don't want to deny you the pleasure of looking it up for yourself in the finest Luger reference work ever written. It's a little dated now and it ain't cheap, but it will transform your life as a Luger collector, at least it did mine.
Regards, Norm

Well thanks for the help you already gave. I'm not going to spend 300+ bucks on more books for another gun collecting hobby at this late date in life. I already have a fortune in books, guns, and parts in my M1 carbine sickness, I'm not gonna go down that road now with Lugers. If I buy this shooter Luger, I will be content to know the date is one of three possible years and keep my $300. Thanks again.
