Doubs, pretty good. If the information you have has any authenticity, then my chances of finding a matching mag has increased, not that it is important, the two I want are for referbs one of which has been 'sporterized'. I tend to disagree on one point, the numbering by year. Example, DWM is given a contract in 1912 for 22,000 Lugers, serial nembered 10,000a thru 10,000b sufixes plus the 2,000 without suffixes. Regardless of which letters weren't used they would continue the consecutive numbering until the end of the contract, without regard to the year of completion, perhaps 1914. I don't see how else this could have been managed by the procurement office. They surely didn't just let each company pick their own numbers, the would have to have been assigned. While I know of no comprehensive serial number listing, there are aparently records of who got a contract for how many at what point in time, DWM, Mauser, Erfurt etc., to make it more confusing there are the special contracts, Navy, Police, and others scattered around in there.
