Location of serial numbers on 1917 Military DWM? FAQ's

[Geo99]

Rshaw,

Your list is still not correct for WWI MILITARY Lugers, which is what your 1917 is.

For 1917 Military Luger, the last two digits of the serial number are on the:
top of the extractor, not the bottom
on the side of the side plate, not the bottom
on the side of the take down lever, not the bottom

Here's one that most people do not know about:
The first two digits of the SN are inside of the side plate (at the bottom) - this is only on DWM Lugers.

Also, the bottom of the barrel always has the suffix (if the SN has one).
