Fluted firing pin survey

Would be interested in hearing from anyone who has a matching fluted firing pin in a pre 1934 luger. Thank you. Bill

Bill, I have many in police guns, however, I can't swear if they are "original" for the imperial and the early weimar. However, the 1929 police all have fluted firing pins.

I think there are fewer non-fluted firing pins than fluted left in lugers.

Thanks Ed. The reason I am asking-Supposedly the fluted pin was introduced by Mauser in 1934. I really question this. Bill
