Hi Mark,
Just a minor point...but there is one more Owner in the string of ownership of your very nice G-date...you are not the 3rd. owner, but the 4th. owner. * Original German soldier * Major Brown * Lt. Rugar * Current owner (...you) Regards, Pete... <img border="0" alt="[typing]" title="" src="graemlins/yltype.gif" /> |

Please Pete, in purist terms, we are just the current caretakers of these historical gems. There will be caretakers after us, never owners.

Glenn,
Being a new member, you wouldn't likely be aware of the fact that our good friend Frank Manders, who initiated this study, has passed away . I do not know if any of the other members had continued his study of 'G' date proof marks. Lyn |

Ed's graph doesn't show up here, so no idea what that indicates. ![]() If anyone is interested, here is what I got from this thread, keeping in mind that I have no idea what these marks mean... G-Date Waffenamt Marks Hi Guys, I [Frank Manders] am asking all with G-Dates for a little assistance. First we know there were about 55,000 of these little jewels made. There are six combinations of waffenamt marks, the most of any other Third Reich Luger. I have been compiling lists, trying to establish the serial number range for each set of marks. These marks are: B|90 and S-91 B|90 and S-92 W|154 and S-92 DE/211 and S-92 DE/63 and S-92 DE/63 and DE/63 Serial Waffenamt 8628 a W|154 - S-92 - Eagle 8752 d DE/63 - DE/63 - Eagle 7895C W154, S92 2154d E/211 S-92 3278d E/211 S-92 2508e de/63 de/63 808b w154 s92 6008e DE/63, DE/63, Eagle 1131-d 211 S|92 5745e two D/63's 70f DE63 DE63 Eagle 1504b W154 S92 Eagle 8846 b W154, S92 3000a B90/S91 6109a B90/S92 6035 f DE/63 DE/63 6032e DE/63 DE/63 8069d dw63 dw 63 1989f D/E63 & D/E63 6669c W-154 & S/92 5690d DE/63-S92 8304E DE/63 DE/63 6943d e/63, 92 7449c W154 S92 4548d DE/211 and S-92 8735c W154 and S 92 3514c W154 and S92 3770a B90 S-91 1849c w154 s-92 9599 "d" DE63 DE63 8452b W|154 and S-92 2589E DE/63 and DE/63 Again, I wish I knew more about 'G' date Mauser Lugers, but it's too late for me to learn. Maybe a dedicated 'G' date aficionado could carry Frank's work on... ![]() Edit: Snagged some from Still's site, may be some dupes... 4249a B90, S91 7466a W154, S92 8628a W154, S92 539b W154, S92 7622c W154, S92 943d DE/211, S92 2741d DE/211, S92 3176d DE/211, S92 4003d DE/211, S92 4437d DE/211, S92 200e DE/63, DE/63 3823e DE/63, DE/63 2043f DE/63, DE/63 2927f DE/63, DE/63 9236b W154 - S92 2971e DE63 DE63 5102aB|90 & S-91 4190a B90 S91 7211a W154 S92 735b W154 S92 3705e DE63 DE63 9491e DE63 DE63 1689f DE63 DE63 2736c W154 S92 8096d DE/63--DE63 9602e DE/63--DE63 4991e DE/63 DE/63 7328c W154 S92

I have heard that all his paperwork and research was put into someones hands.
No idea who or whom - I'd love for it to be forwarded to me, I'd scan it all in and send it back. |

Perhaps G.T. would know who was the beneficiary of Frank Mander's database information? I will PM him to find out... They lived in close proximity to each other... I was blessed to have to opportunity to have lunch with Frank the last I was in Phoenix... He is sorely missed here.
