Incorrect Number vs. No Number

mjanway · 08-04-2011, 02:16 PM

Thank you for the responses. I have a breechblock and extractor with a wrong number, firing pin and sear bar with no numbers. I do understand the commercials were somewhat inconsistent with particular part markings but not really sure what parts would fall into that category. My Luger reference book which apparently I am sharing with at least one other person at our public library is checked out for a couple more weeks. (Good books on this weapon seem to be difficult to find and very expensive when you do.)

Again, this has nothing to do with value as this is a shooter and will always be a shooter. I am just wondering if it is worth the effort to be looking around at the shows and shops I frequent for parts. I would imagine that it would be easier to find an unnumbered part that one with a 17 on it, but if the wrong number and no number are held in the same regard, then it would be low on my list.

Lugers are quite a challenge to understand. I learn a lot from this forum and appreciate it. Thanks again.
