Thor/Lugerdoc,
Thanks for responding. I don't have access to a digital camera, but another post by JimS included pictures, like the one shown in this link: http://jlstuht.freewebspace.com/luge...uger8002-5.jpg
The markings on my gun are identical to the four shown, assuming the one on the far left is the 'Eagle over 63', as the one on the left on my gun is clearly the 'Eagle over 63'. Left front receiver is 4 digit s/n, 2577, not 'crown over N'. Proof on left side of barrel (near receiver) is what appears to be a variation of 'Eagle over 63'. One more thing that I find interesting...on the underside of the barrel, near the end and before the '9mm made in germany' mark, are what appear to be the letters,'Col Swan VI'. Some of the letters are worn, so it could be somthing entirely different. I am fairly sure the 'Swan' and 'V' are correct, though. I hope this helps. What, again, do you think the 'k' script, in from and directly above the trigger guard, means? It doesn't appear to me that the date stamp above the chamber on the receiver has been removed, but this is the first Luger I've ever examined. I look forward to your comments.
