Bavarian Unit Mark Lugers

JTD · 02-27-2019, 07:46 AM

Don, I do not think anything was lost or misplaced. The tooling was now in place to mill all new manufacture frames. Rework on frames that needed it just went thru this tooling step when needed. The Weurttenburg or Bavarian lugers were just never returned for the retrofit. Weimar rework pistols were retrofitted with needed upgrades, force matched, and at that point any unit mark would be obliterated, or removed, destroying the link to origins. I have never observed a 1920 marked pistol without a hold open. Just my 2 cents worth, John
