Names engraved on Lugers

Ed,

I didn't say they were common. I said "often" they would do this. Maybe I used the wrong word, but it is known to have been done.

Simply because someone has been collecting along time and hasn't seen it, doesn't mean that it wasn't done. It means they haven't seen one.

The esteemed Luger officianado Rhinehard Kornmeyer told Joop that pantograph machines weren't used in Germany until 1946, in a discussion they had about the Fieseler Guard Luger. So much for his expertise...

I am going on what I recall in the discussion about this practice in that posting. And by what I have learned from George Anderson.
