Matching Luger question - Don't Shoot!

12-18-2001, 07:51 PM

As I was in the US Army, I can't tell you and I am under the impression that the Germans were aware of serial numbers. But if a Luger broke a firing pin, extractor or what ever else part in 1916, (1944 mihgt be a better example), I can't imagine that any unit armorer would give a rats ^&* if the number was wrong. In war, if it works, use it. If it was made to function, then so be it.

So, even tho the pistol was taken off of a dead SS Captain, it is a non-collector piece?
