Hello John,

Very nice pistol you have there !! And a fabulous presentation......

A question: can you put a production date on this #99 Y pistol ?? ``Y`` Block Banners started in 1941 then continued in 1942. Photo shows 2 ``Y`` Block 42 dated Banners....

In trying to establish the production date of those....only thing I'm able to come up with is that one is ``early``, the other one ``late`` I know it sounds cheap but I dont have more info

Both Police issue with Sear Safeties.....Top pistol has a #1 matching mag ( and a Otto Sindel holster !! )Bottom one is one of my ``favorites``.....

Both have the E/N upside down proof on the front sight base....( have to admit I do like those ``muzzle shots photos``...)

Both being III Reich Lugers, they fall into my main area of collecting......

MARK
