Hi Doubs,
I have to disagree with you on your Imperial Luger with the sear safety. In my opinion, it started out as an Erfurt and when the sear safety and magazine safety were added it no longer is an Imperial Luger, but a Third Reich Luger. Imperial era Lugers were for Lugers used through 1918 -- Weimar era Lugers were used from 1919 to 1933 roughly, and Third Reich Lugers were for Lugers used from 1933 through 1945 roughly. The key word here is "used". Yes, that 1916 Erfurt was originally an Imperial Luger, but when the sear safety was added, the era of use then became 1933 and beyond, making it no longer strictly and only an Imperial Luger. I would think you would label these as to the last use they had, not the first. Is a 1916 Navy with a new 4 inch barrel and a sear safety still an Imperial Navy, or a Nazi police? In my mind it is now strictly a police Luger with a history of one time being an Imperial Navy, but it is not now an Imperial Navy. Guess it is how one wants to look at it and how he wants to label them? Sincerely, Bill Munis
