Rear Conncecting Pin - Again

[Frank]

Marvin, I have tried to find a reference of an author that would bring some light to the subject. Unfortunately I couldn't locate one, but I'll keep looking. I guess for now I can only report that I have what I will call "MY Collectable Lugers", Military Mausers ranging from K-Dates to 42 byfs and they all have Main Toggle Pins numbered to the pistol. Six of these are 1941 and 1942. Then, I would add my own feelings that I would not own what I consider a "MY Collectable Luger" without that pin being matched to the pistol. Now that's MY definition. Others may feel that field or armourers replacement parts make the pistol collectable. My argument would be, was it replaced in 1940 or 1990? The answer is has to be "I don't know"!!

FURTHER, I DON'T WANT TO START ANOTHER BUNCH OF POSTS ON WHAT IS A COLLECTABLE !!!! PLEASE that's why I said "My Collectable Lugers"
