First year of chamber date?

Well,
The 1906 turned out to be a crude fake. The average collector might not have picked it up however. It had military proofs on the RH side and the chamber date had been removed. I would estimate about a 1912 or 13 DWM, no stock lug but hold open. The grip safety had been fitted but the wrong safety lever and the GESICHERT badly removed.
The seller gave me my money back.
The 1908 turned out to be a first issue and exactly as described in Luger at Random. Also nice unit marks.
One out of two aint bad Tom.
Regards
