I hope there are some Luger guys on here that can help me with a question. I bought a PO8 Luger with a 1939 manufactured date with a '42' on the top that has the eagles over 63 on the right side. All the parts including the walnut grips are matching numbers which is 23. The mag is an aftermarket though. My question is, even the number on the left side of frame is still 23 where on other Lugers that is the position for the full serial number. No where else on the gun can I find anything other than 23. Could this be the 23rd gun off the Mauser assembly line? No numbers have been removed or scrubbed off in front of the 23 on the left. I have no pictures to show you but have tried to describe it the best I can. Would appreciate help with the question on the 2 digit number. Thanks.
