·Since this is my first posting on this website please bear with any beginning errors. I need some information concerning the German Luger Artillery pistol. At present, I have three of these type pistols but will use the DWM 1918 artillery as my example of question. The serial number on this pistol is 1312 a. The adjustable site base is marked/stamped with the number "32 a" by the securing screw, yet upon very close examination, within the bottom of the adjustable site well, there is observed the correct number 12 of the serial number 1312. All other numbers, concerning this Luger, are matching.
Why are there conflicting numbers or different numbers on the adjustable site base by the hold down/securing screw? Does this mean the Luger is mismatched?
The other two artillery Lugers are DWM 1917 dated models and show the same idiosyncrasy (all matched numbers except the number by the screw on the adjustable site base).
I hope my terminology has been sufficient, in description, to receive an answer to the question.
Thank you,
Ron
