Reloading help for the .30 cal.

Nope, don't think I have ever seen the "fluted" firing pin/striker. All the ones I have seen start with a point the stretches back to a cone shape, no cuts at all. The pin is hollow to accommodate the striker spring and the spring guide. I have two Lugers and a friend's Luger and have not seen the pin you describe. My Luger is a 1920 Commercial all original with all matching parts. My other Luger is a 1917 Artillery with another date of /1920. I was told this reflected a factory overhall. The only part not numbered here is the firing pin, so we think it is a factory replacement. Thus the reason for the second date. It is in 9mm while the 1920 Commercial is .30 caliber.
This forum is fairly new to me and I only know enough about Lugers to get in to trouble. Again, I appreciate the help and information here.
