Question about fluted (or relieved) Firing Pins

pillboxesghost · 01-15-2007, 06:51 PM

All,
I have searched this forum (as well as the "other" one) and perused
my Luger books

I have been unable to find any information as to what date the fluted firing pins were introduced. I have the notion that they first appeared on Mauser manufactured pistols.

Were these firing pins introduced as repair parts or were they introduced as part of Simpson or Mauser serial production pistols?

If anyone knows (or has any educated guesses) I would be pleased to hear from them.

Regards,
Jon Lewis
