ID of Dad's Luger - Year/Commerical?

Edward Tinker · 04-29-2008, 06:49 PM

Jim, welcome to the forum.

Whats comes to mind, I think there are two possibilities;

1. Imperial that was "refurbished" and then sold to the USA market, and the date was removed (does it have a stock lug or is it smooth on the rear of the gripstrap frame)

2. Commercial, made for the US market, if so, then it was made around 1920, if the "a" is really a "o" or "q" then it would be 1925 or 1927.

Pictures could help us a bit more.

How is it proofed and accepted? i.e. crown N on the left or markings on the right of the receiver?
