"Boosted" into shooter category? - But look further!

Did you miss the "SU25" stamp on the right receiver? Several examples came up when I searched and each was in the same serial number range of the g suffix code.

The SU25 stamp has nice halo as does the barrel serial number and the digits on the rear toggle link. The only serious question I have about it is the serial number on the front of the frame. There's no halo and the area where the serial number is stamped appears to have been ground some.

The electro penciled numbers are very neat and while I may be wrong, I think there's more to this Luger than someone trying to fool anyone. Check the short thread linked below.

Thanks for the link. I did notice the SU stamp, and had a recollection--albeit fuzzy-- that it is legitimate. What threw me was the electro-pencil work in lieu of number stamp. I agree that the numbers were carefully/skillfully executed.

Thank you for calling our attention to it. I find it to be a very interesting variation of the alphabet Lugers. By researching it, I also learned new information.

I never ceased to be amazed at the collective collaborative effort demonstrated on this forum to carefully study Lugers.
