Frame Identification Help

No. The font style is more consistent with the font found on Mausers. I don't recall having seen discussion of this particular situation, but my best guess is that the frame might have been among the DWM parts that were shipped from Berlin when the operation moved to Oberndorf am Neckar and were thereafter completed as finished pistols beginning in 1934, I suppose until the supply was used up. Frames were serialized at the time they were built into guns, IIRC, which probably means that some DWM frames were completed by Mauser and stamped with the simpler, cleaner font Mauser used. I hope someone with better knowledge of these specifics will join the thread and perhaps give better info.

Kudos for your inquisitive attitude. I encourage you to hang in there, read lots on the forums, tackle the FAQ, and collect some reference books. There's a ton to absorb as an embryonic Luger nerd, so be patient, and keep up the questions. And soon enough...you will buy another Luger!
