Gerald, make sure you break it completly down, from my notes, a breakdown of all numbers to be truely matching are:
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">What parts must be numbered on a Luger? The following parts should have serial numbers on them: Frame, full serial number with suffix Under barrel, full serial number with or without suffix Left side of the receiver, full serial number without suffix. All the following parts should have the last two numerals stamped on them: Firing pin Extractor Sear bar Breechblock Front toggle link Rear toggle link Locking bolt (takedown lever) Side plate (with a few exceptions through the years, see comments on side plate) Trigger Safety lever Safety bar Hold-open latch Grips (inside) Note, that the rear toggle pin was not serial-numbered until 1932. There were two "styles" of serial number marking, Commercial style and Military style. In commercial style some of the numbers, notably the side-plate and locking bolt, were stamped underneath in a way which did not affect the surface look of the gun--military serial numbers were stamped on the visible surfaces. If your mismatched parts are stamped highly visibly they likely come from military guns. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">The letter under the trigger guard is probably the suffix, which is part of the serial number. I have made a suffix page you can go to at: http://users.palouse.com/ttinker/SUFFIXES.htm and you can compare your suffix to the one you see. I would guess this has been reblued by the russians, pictures would help, there is also a tutorial under the help pages that you can usually figure out how to post pictures. Ed
