registering a "O" series luger

Jon · 08-08-2001, 09:46 PM

good evening guys and gals, i have a odd question, i just pick up a "O" sufix luger in the 2xxx range and how and what do i register it as?? All four here,the 1936 ,1939, 42-41, and the byf-41 all had 2xxx serial numbers with "O" sufixs, so if i register it as a 2xxx O then i just might have a problem, if i leave off the "O" I might have even a bigger problem if theres a stolen luger with that serial number. I cannot even get around this by registering it as a mauser alone . please advise as i am new to lugers and trying to be a good citizen. thank-you jon

Hi Jon! The correct way to register your Luger is to use all the information available to you....so, for example, I would write a serial number as follows (hypothetical, of course) byf 41 6xxx a ......that should do it! Your safe unless they repeated the serials and the codes during production, and that would be rare, if not nonexistant! till...later....G.T.

You did not indicate the year of manufacture, but if 1936 I would record it as a 1936 S/42 No.2XXXo. None of the Lugers for a given year repeated the suffix as the K98k's did. Even then they went to the double suffix.

Don't register it at ALL, if you can avoid it!

Why put a nice gun on a future confiscation list?
