Examples of All Six G-Date Lugers

Frank,
* Roger that's a "WOW"; like in "WOW-WEE-WOW".
* Concur the dE to sE was a die change unrelated to the Inspection Team constituents. Hitler's party wanted to eradicate any symbol tied to the Weimar republic. The dE was a Weimar style eagle. Took them a couple of years; but, the Nazi style stick eagle was finally incorporated by 1937.
* So why so many Army Inspector teams getting their hands on "G" date Lugers when the balance of the Production years display a more balanced progression of orderly evolution? My WAG is the Waffenamt was training their Inspectors in 1935 and Mauser was one of the companies chosen to enable this expansion of new/cross training.
* An interesting exercise is to see the migration of the 6 Inspection teams to other manufacturing facilities across Germany. We know the "63" team stayed @ Mauser till late 1939. What happen to the other 5 inspector teams?? A quick review of Richard Law's BOTW-98k shows the Mauser plant in Borsigwalde began producing 98k rifles in Berlin in late 1935. The Inspection team mark found almost universally from 1935-1937 is our team "211". As a side bar. some very, very few "cyq" Spreewerk P.38's are found with e/211 accepted small parts in approximately 1942.
* Anyone have a line on the other four Inspection teams (B90, S91, S92, & W/154) relative to where they were subsequently assigned after their 1935 Luger foray??
Respectfully,
Bob
