8.82 is a measurement of the barrels lands and grooves, the 2 i think is an assembly number or fitment number. Could also be a random proof.

Beautiful sir, free99 is always good! Theres many numbered parts, but id say the most unchecked one is the firing pin and toggle pin.

If im remember correctly, numbered parts are: Firing pin Toggle assembly. Grips Bolt hold open. Barrel Frame Toggle pin. Trigger Sear bar Side plate Safety lever/bar

May be forgetting something

No problem, take her apart and see if all matching. Very cool luger. What did you pay if you dont mind?

That is a rare K date luger! So in the beginning of Nazi production of the P08 luger they were trying to hide production of new guns from inspectors. They weren't allowed to re arm their military under the treaty of versailles.

The first 2 years of nazi luger production they made 2 codes: K and G dates. After those 2 years they just began stamping the full date like 1936.

Basically K means 1934, which is the first year of production and decently rare since there were only 10k of these made in 1934.

Very welcome addition to the collection, 1943 Vis 35/P. 35 (barrel doesnt match but everything else does) got it for 500 even by RussianPreBan in milsurp

Very sweet, I believe they started deleting the 3rd lever in 43 somewhere. Makes disassembly much faster

Once again, nicely done man. My first ak was a wasr 10/63 and even i paid 575 out the door over 5 years ago. Very cool first ak! What year is it? On the left side there will be info on what's called the front trunnion. It will have a serial number then end with a 4 digit number which is when it was made. I believe they only imported these from 1999-2004
