Below the three crown emblems with their letters is a 5 digit number beginning with 17, then below that is the 5 digit serial number beginning with 48...

You note that the proofs and the first number are under the barrel proper. Is the second number also on the barrel, or is it on the front of the frame?

If the safety lever is placed in the up position, does it uncover a shiny-polished area?

And welcome to a group of similarly passionate Luger owners.
