Interesting. Educate me on this one. Original or from parts?

Wonderful to see & in excellent condition.
My LP08 1917/20 has a number close.
Could they have been on the same ship or at least sea?
Nordsee Naval station in Wilhelmshaven

George Anderson wrote this history for mine and it perfectly applies to yours! Originally made in the Royal Prussian arsenal at Erfurt. It was issued to the German Army in either 1914 -1915 seeing combat throughout WW1. In 1920 or soon there after a Weimer a Weimer property stamp of '1920' was added to the chamber in order to preclude subsequet theft during the the tumultuous early years of the Weimer Replubic. At some point during the Weimer period this pistol was put into service by the Reichmarine (Weimer Navy). In the late Weimer or early Nazi era (Kriegsmarine) the rear pistol grip was stamped with a Naval property stamp in the form of an upper case "M" above the anchor. Just below this marking is the naval property number is stamped ( in my case) '1649N' The 'N' indicates the pistol as having been assigned to the German (North Sea Fleet) which was headquatered at the port city of Wilhelmshaven."

Takedown lever, sideplate and grip screws are not Erfurt proofed- probaly replacement. The rest is all Erfurt inlc. matching grips.

Heres one that survived through out the First world war with its blood and mud. The worst possible conditions. Parts wear out or need to be replaced often on the battle field! Heres one example on my 1914 unit matching artillery and what it went through is obvious!! Below both an a navy and artillery groupings~~Eric

N1519 is not on the known N & O Naval list. The closest one to it is N1518 4662b with a 1936 date. Always nice to see something come out of the wood work.

Both in Jans' Imperial lugers, Both DWM~!What list are did you use? Eric

tenbears · 10-14-2013, 04:56 PM

I beg to differ N1519 is not on Still's list.
