Howdy! I recently picked up this mix-master 41 byf Luger. The upper assembly is all marked the same with 1653 (8.82) and the frame with the exception of the side plate is marked 6277(z?)
The grips are unmarked on the inside except one is stamped P08. Since it's got the "X" on the frame I assume it's a Russian capture. The "655" eagles on the upper appear to have been "peened" a bit to obscure the eagles. It's also got "Germany" stamped on one side of the frame.
It was nicely refinished by the seller. In spite of the mismatched numbers I thought it was an attractive piece and I wanted a pistol I could shoot.
I'm just wondering about dates of manufacture and any other info ya'll could provide.
Here's some photos. Thanks in advance.
