The pistols would often be stamped with the 'X', but the original serial numbers are used and were not damaged or marked over.Arrow_back Returns To All Sold Items arrow_back Return To Sold Foreign Military ArmsĪction Type: Single Action Semi-Auto with Removable Magazine While on many pistols they did some thing different. That observation has been seen mostly on rifles. As long as the part fit and would function they were happy. Then when it came time to put the firearms back together again, they grabbed the needed part and gave no concern as to which weapon it was on originally. It appears to many collectors that the Russians dis-assembled thousands of K98k rifles for example, and tossed all of their parts in a large bluing tank. It is some what rare to find a Russian captured and rebuilt rifle with any two of its parts from the same firearm, save a barreled receiver where both the barrel and receiver would normally match such as those that have been found on numerous K98k rifles. For example, this Luger is missing the 'X' mark and the receiver, frame and toggle assembly all came from the same pistol. While this Luger has some of these characteristics, it is missing others. To summarize, the barrel, receiver and frame have re-stamped matching numbers.
The frame originally had a four digit serial number that appears to be 8475, but this number has been scrubbed and a new four digit serial number has been added that matches the receiver and barrel. The frame and most of the toggle assembly are from the same Luger.
