"Boosted" into shooter category? - But look further!

Not to mention the Swiss used militarized 30 cal Luger's but yes, I agree Ed, the inscribed numbers is in no way normal and in my mind opens the door to knowledgeable faker's but who knows I was not there and I have seen these carefully inscribed numbers before. It is also possible these numbered Luger's are from the same counterfeiter. Again who knows, Luger's have become a high dollar game and where there's money there is possible deception.

I want to make it perfectly clear that in no way am I counting Doubs theory out, Doubs is one of the most knowledgeable members here and I have learned so much from him here @ the forum. The fact is I am just on a fence with this gun ... I am hoping that Doubs assessment is correct but my spidey senses are tingling. LOL

Alphabet commercials began with the 'i' suffix. There are no Alphabet Commercials with a 'g' suffix. The subject gun actually has a 'q' suffix.

Looking at various suffix letter charts, it looks like a g to me but you may be correct that it's a q. As I said in my first post, the frame serial number looks suspiciously like the original was scrubbed and a new one stamped. I've never seen an alphabet Luger frame with grind marks on it like that. They have all been smooth. I suspect that a military frame was scrubbed and renumbered.

Reference the railway use.
Long long ago someone presented a railway marked Luger.
It inspired a lengthy thread on "Railroad Lugers."
Several examples were offered.
Probably long unretrieveable.

Sold for around $1500 this afternoon. $1225 plus $226 buyers premium and shipping fees. I would think the 18.5% influenced the buyer, and any other bidders.
