Strange Date Stamp

Aaron · 10-17-2003, 02:26 AM

I have been offered a matching DWM artillery Luger in decent shape. However, it was originally dated 1916, but the 6 has been very neatly overstamped with a number 8, making the date appear to look like 1918. Serial is 1782 with no suffix. Only the rear sight is fine tuned. It has a wood bottom non-matching mag with an incorrect blued tube. Has anyone seen anything like this? I will try to get some pictures and post them.
