Is this a rack # ?

If you mean the "229", it is in a relatively unusual place if a rack number.
Most rack or unit ID numbers are on the front or rear grip straps, and occasionally on the rear of the pistol frame near the lanyard loop.

I don't see why you say it is elaborate, but maybe I miss the point.

We all like to look at luger pictures, so why not post more of your artillery luger?
Frequently the rest of the pistol will have additional information to some.

Welcome to the board.

Yes, Im trying to understand the "229"on this Luger. On a lot of military weapons, the rack number is casually painted on. Thats why I thought it was elaborate for a rack number.
