Bogus Navy Luger K Date

John Sabato · 03-02-2017, 10:43 AM

I am certainly not an expert on K-dates, but let me ask if anyone else thinks that the "K" looks like other K-date Lugers or is a departure from the normal stamping.

Something just doesn't look right to me about it... it appears to be off-center of the top of the chamber, and crudely stamped compared to those K stamps I have seen previously...

Could this receiver have been carefully ground off and the K added? or am I imagining things...

Inquiring minds want to know.
