Mike, I must disagee with most of the earlier posters, since I believe that this waa never commerical production. I note the the first digit (#9) has been added to the left receiver, which in fact was made as a standard 4 digit 1921 dated military, with the proper acceptance stamps on the right receiver. This is also verified by the Weimar military unit ID on the front grip strap and rack # on the rear of the frame. The only reason that I can think of why the serial number might have been changed, is that it was the same as another luger alreary in that unit's invertory, although probably and earlier date. It would appear that some unit armorers were no better than our current police forces, in not using the date & toggle code as part of a PO8's identification. TH
