New To Forum Question on first luger s/42

Edward Tinker · 05-30-2003, 12:22 AM

Hello and welcome

Can you tell us any markings on the gun?

Proofs? (see on your left under tech information if you came through www.lugerforum.com)

Tell us what and where proofs and markings are located.

There are forms in this section, where you can print out and then write down pertinent information.

What serial number is on the gun? To include any letters next to or under the serial number?

What year or letters are stamped on the top of the receiver?

What initials or letters are on the toggle?

Can you provide pictures, to include side, top, etc?

Not all the refinished East German guns are "crude", (I think) some were in good shape and simply left alone. Others that i have seen were dipped, but I believe the Russian capture ones are more likely to be dipped, while the East German are in much nicer shape.

Even if it is a re-work, then it has a history and that can be determined by any markings.
