Ron,

Thanks very much for the pictures.

There are 12 Bolivian Lugers reported in the commercial database from sn 64438-64597. This is an entire range of 1908 Commercials sandwitched between Navy Commercials and 1906 Commercials, and the only other report in this range is questionable.

Walter (The Luger Book) speculates that the range for these pistols is sn 59048-65473. Sn 59299 and sn 65475 are reported as Bolivian, but the identification is not positive.

My own estimation of the date puts the 64000-range guns most likely in 1911. I think that 1910 is just a bit too early, but this is a part of the serial range where there is no good date-point between 1909-1913.

Alf, is there any chance of getting a serial number and detail report of your friend's gun?
