Hi Bob,
is it possible to get an better pic from the markings and the other side of the Luger?
Regards
Gunner
Unfortunately, no. It's in NC and I'm in NJ. There are two Crown M's and what looks like a plain crown. I had to reduce the size to get it under Andale/Vendio's photo limit.
It has the long frame, so appears to be the 1908 variation. The 1908 variation lacked the grip safety of the 1906 Navy, but were not dated like the 1914 variation. Should be in the letter a suffix block serial number range.
This is the short frame 1914 variation dated 1917 on the chamber, left frame rail and left side of front sight boss.

MANY thanks, Johnny. Can you email me at seijaro@aol.com? I also have questions on a 4" and would send you a larger photo of it in hopes you can add something.
The photo is not very helpful. Are ALL the parts identically numbered (with small parts stamped only with the last two digits)? Is the (missing) magazine numbered to the weapon and are there a second magazine, a holster and a board stock (all numbered to the weapon?).Does the magazine wooden button have concentric rings on it? Is the chamber stepped or straight? Whose maker´s mark is stamped on the upper side of the receiver? (DWM, Mauser?).
All these questions ... and a whole lot more.
Tanks for the effort, villiers, but I think Johnny provided enough for a photo caption. I can't provide any more information, don't have ready access to the piece.
