Well this is one of the drums in the chest that D&B militaria are currently selling. I have asked them for photos of the markings on all of the drums and the loader, but they only sent me photos of this one.

Thank you for that information. I am hoping D&B will give me the serial numbers of the other drums in the 'P-Kasten' they have for sale. That should confirm, if the others are reproduction or not. You may have more numbers to add to your data. Is the one pictured above in your data already? Richard |

Just so you guys know, there are hundreds of drum serial numbers listed in
Ed Sayre's book "The Luger Snail Drum". They are listed by drum type, and on pages 114-118 with a notation of when and where observed.

You can also search the image number in the lower left corner of the photo. It comes up about 5 or 6 down in the search results. |

D& B have just provided me the serial numbers for the drum mags they are selling with, or without, the P-Kasten. 140318, 325142, 106352, 370124 and 193103 All appear to have one thing in common. |
