Rear Conncecting Pin - Again

[bill m]

Hello Marvin,

You are mistaken about the DWM and Erfurt Lugers having the numbered rear connecting pins. These were NOT numbered on ALL of the original issued guns, but were numbered on the reworks of the 1930's.


From your post you say that you have seen Late Mauser Lugers with and without the numbered pins, but you do not tell us the variation. You can refer to my previous post on Mausers, but ALL military Mauser Lugers had the rear connecting pin numbered when they left the factory. If they do not, then they have been replaced. Possibly some of the Commercial and really late two digit Banners could have an un-marked pin. The only people that I have ever heard this "theory" about the pin being either numbered or not, were the guys who had a Luger with a blank pin that were trying to sell it as all matching.


Perhaps "some of the more knowledgeable forum members", (which apparently I am not), can give you the answer you're looking for!
