Luger "Reinforced" Frame

Dwight Gruber · 12-02-2005, 06:07 PM

Just an update from a few more samples, in the hopes that it may drag some other guns out of the woodwork. Here is where the changeovers now stand:

DWM 1914 3500a spur
DWM 1915 3220c straight

Erfurt 1911 7686 spur
Erfurt 1911 8221 straight

1914 Commercial Army 70362 spur
1914 Commercial 72353 straight

There are seven 1914 LP-08 reported between 262(ns) and 7754(ns). None of them have spur frames. WAG question I wonder if this implies that DWM set up a new production "line" for LP-08 frames, or entire guns?

As before, I appreciate the numbers from everybody, and am looking forward to more. Please examine and report Lugers around these ranges, not just within them; it is a reasonable expectation that there might be an overlap in the change.
