Where to look for matching numbers?
Where are all the locations to look on a Luger to ensure the numbers are indeed matching?

John, depends on if military or commerical. Commerical are "hidden", and not obvious, unlike the military markings.
I am sure I will forget something, and believe that WW1, Weimar and Nazi era are marked the same for military, but someone correct me if I am wrong. Frame, barrel (this depends on year manufactured, not all have it), breechblock, firing pin, extractor, take down lever, hold open, sideplate, magazine catch, trigger, sear bar, safety bar... Grips, but not always, depends on year... Look here: http://www.lugerforum.com/lugermarki...tmarkings.html |

Hi,
Also note that different producers and production runs are marked on slightly different positions. A skilled collector can determine where the part came from, simply by observing the type of die used and the location of the stamp on the part. |

Ed - The "list of markings" link references a diagram. Is the diagram posted for access somewhere on this site?

all depends on if you came to www.lugerforum.com if so, then follow and look around the technical section on the left.
