Significance of suffix

Lugerdoc · 12-13-2002, 08:29 AM

Even though the above comments are helpful, I don't consider any of them complete. In addition to the Manufacturer, date and serial number with suffix, if present, I feel that it is necessary to include the variation, either as identified in Lugers at Randon or in Still's series of books (they do differ a bit). To take a previous example of a DWM 1908 or 1909 Military with an undated chamber, which some confuse with being commerical production: I would identify as a DWM First Issue Military PO8 (indicates 9mm 4" barrel) #1234ns (no suffix), a or b.
