The text for ser#4 (the pic above) does not say, and there is no pic of the rear of the frame/bbl extension. It does say that August Weiss testified that 'four or five'...prototypes were made up under BKIW's then chief engineer Heinrich Hoffmann, ca 1925/6.

There is additional discussion of fakes/repros being made for a prominent Phoenix AZ Luger dealer as well as a "prominent West Coast dealer and Parabellum copyist". I have no idea who those two might be, but IIRC, Mike Krause made a copy of the 'Pocket Parabellum' based on ser#4...

TBLAP; interesting reading. But at 1888 pages, an arduous task.
