I sent a message to the seller explaining that it was a parts FrankenLuger and why. Any bets that he'll correct his description?

"Several of the serials look renumbered and unknown if done during a rebuild or by someone post German use. Bore is bright with strong rifling, markings and proofmarks are a little light. Metal finish is a full reblue. Checkered walnut grips have a tight fit with some handling wear, no numbers on the inside of each. " I'm not sure what else needed to be said. And just FYI, even though most of the L P08 adjustable/fine tune sights were used up in 1917 as you state; a few genuine 1918 L P08s are known with: - front fine tune sight- 4 reported, several more serial numbers observed by me -rear fine tune sight- 1 reported, two more serial numbers observed by me - none reported with both fine tune sights Reported observations are in Jan Still's Central Powers Pistols book, Table 21 page 103. I personally own three 1918 L P08s, one with fine tune front, and two with the most common configuration of no fine turn sights. I am "desperately seeking" one of the elusive variants with the fine tune rear sight, or both! Of course they must be matching and un-modified to qualify. I also "need" a "double date" DWM 1914 L P08, original 1914 with 1920 property stamp. Should anyone have the elusive 1918 with fine tune rear, or a 1914/1920 please let me know!

One with zero fine tune sites and one with BOTH front and rear fine tune sights. There is a post regarding my 1917 LP08 with front and rear fine tune sights. https://forum.lugerforum.com/showpos...14&postcount=1
