Luger in Brazil

[FNorm]

Paulo,

Better pictures now. A good looking piece. What is the full serial number? Read this off the front of the frame, just under the barrel. Numbers, and possibly a letter. There should be the same numbers on the underside of the barrel. Here too some smaller numbers, 8,81-8,86 which is the bore diameter land to land in mm. Also, I can not quite make out the inspection stamps on the right side of the receiver. Looks like a U, then ?, ? and then the acceptance stamp. Take a look on this forum under "technical information", and see if you can identify these letters.

What makes me think it may have been refinished: On the top of the left toggle knob is the head of a small retaining pin. This should be in the white, or bare metal. It looks blued in the photos. This often happens during a refinish.
Another clue is what is called a "halo" round some numbers. These on the barrel, top the extractor, and the back of the toggle after the DWM logo. If refinished these halos will not be evident.

Are there any letters/numbers stamped on the grip straps, front or rear? Does the crown eagle (C/E) on the right side of the reciever match the one on the left side of the breech black? The one on the receiver looks like the Erfurt mark?
