Heinz, I think you are probably correct!! Thanks for the laugh <img src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" border="0" alt="[hiha]" />

If you could identify that Luger as a Mauser, about 90 of them have that serial number. That assumes there could have been a letter suffix. Most people improperly take the numeric part as the serial number and forget about the alpha part.
