1913 dwm

[Leed709]

Mr. Don Voigt asked how I came up with the date 1913 and Sn# 356. On top of receiver is the date 1913. The Sn#356 is stamped on front under the barrel also there is a small a stamped under Sn.

Then it is not a commercial luger, and the serial number is 356a (the suffix is part of the serial number); but the pistol must be a constructed/re-numbered one.

Hi Leland,
Is the top half the same length as the frame or is it perhaps slightly shorter? You have a mixed parts gun for sure, pictures would be a great help.
