Thanks Heydrich for the info on my luger. It does not have a Russian X on it anywhere. Proofs are Eagle with crown overhead, and a very fancy J or G under a crown. The Eagle over fancy letter looks like Proofs 2, # 15 on the Pistole Parabellum site. I got to put about 25 rounds thru it last eve, and off a rest, it shot fine. When I shot offhand, I got several stovepipe jams. Could this be due to not powerfull enough ammo? I was using Olympic 124 gr. (they didnt seem to be loaded very hot) Accuracy was suprisingly good considering the rough bbl. Trigger is acceptable, but sights are tough for 58 yr old eyes! I am still a happy camper!!
