Family find of 1908 Commercial Army Luger

Herb,

It seems with further inspection this gun is getting more and more interesting all the time. Any idea how many 1908 Commercial/Military test models were stamped that way?

drbuster,

If this gun was manufactured in 1914, doesn't it make sense the smaller stamp font would have been used originally at that time?

JS,

Thanks for the maintainance tips. For shooters, I'll probably stick to my .357 and 1911 A1 .45. I can shoot those until the cows come home without impacting a collector piece. I also have an original 1863 Sprinfield .58 cal black powder that is in great condition. Fun to have a little history stored away. :-)
