Auction Luger

Hi,

The Weimar Lugers are different than the Imperial Lugers and can be either reworked of Imperial Lugers or of new manufacture. The number placement, style, and size can be a combination due to when they were put on. When you start considering number placement and "halo's" on these reworks, and comparing them to Imperial Lugers, you are mixing "apples and oranges", so to speak. This partucular Luger was reworked, more than likely twice by the police. You do not know if the TOGGLE is the original one, or just pieces of the original one. The "66" could have been put on some of the parts anywhere from 1919 to 1933, so it would be very possible to even have a different style and still be correct for this variation. Weimar police Lugers have a lot of commercial Lugers re-routed to the police and then numbered in the military style, so you see a "halo" on a lot of the numbers, which is absolutely correct for these models.
