1937 HK Luger Question...

Pete Ebbink · 08-17-2002, 02:51 AM

Very recently saw a 1937 HK luger with serial number # 59xx. (If anyone wants to know the full serial number and the selling dealer, send me a Private Message...)

From the serialization tables in the R. Gibson book on pages 73-75, shouldn't this luger be a 1936 (4-digit) ?

I know HK was a bit sloppy with numbering, but I thought most 1937's spotted are in the early #6300 's and higher...

I also realize a lot of HK's have surfaced since R. Gibson issued his book in 1980 and 1988...

What think you HK experts out there...?

Thanks in advanced for helping out this beginner...
