I would not have gone to medical school if we had a program like that.Įntry level firearms examiner position - BOSTON POLICE FORENSIC DIVISION by BPD-Forensicįirearms Examiner Position (2 Openings) - Ft.I WAS WONDERING, WHAT WAS THE LOWEST, NON-SUFFIX SERIAL NUMBERS ON VERIFIABLE LUGERS, AND HOW AND WHOM, DETERMINED THE NUMBERING, THE SWISS SEEM TO BE THE ONLY ONES WHO MADE IT EASY, FOR INSTANCE, IN 1900,10 LUGERS WERE RECORDED, ACCORDING TO THE EXCELLENT SWISS LUGER BOOK, 'PARRABELLUM' THEY RANGE FROM NUMBER 01 TO 10, SEE PAGE, 206, THE GERMANS LATER USED A SUFFIX SYSTEM, MY INQUIRY, IS THEREFORE, WAS THIS HAP HAZARD NUMBERING/LETTER USED INITIALLY TO AVOID RESTRICTIONS OF THE VERSAILLES TREATY, OR FOR SOME OTHER REASON. I was a firearms examiner long ago, now a police surgeon. Interesting that there is a PhD in Firearms ID now. There is a table of Gothic script on the site for reading Luger serial numbers. It is not a forensic site so when they "match" a die stamp it is not the same. The guys on this forum are very knowledgable on Lugers and WWII guns. Lugers, with all the variations, reuse of numbers and Gothic scripts can be challenging. He has a lot of information on High Powers as well a Lugers, P38s and Radom P35s. They are very expesive now since there was limited production. For WWI/WWII 9mm Jan Still's books are great. He is a very nice gentleman who will help you if you have a case and are in need of information. His book also has a lot of information in the High Power serial number range if you need to include WWII era guns. I bought a copy of "FN Browning Pistols" by Anthony Vanderlinden. I have recently become interested in the FN M1910 and M1922 primarily because there were duplicaitons in the serial numbers post WWII. To try and collect info on all 9mm will be very challenging. You could spend a lifetime on 9mm serial number ranges just of WWII pistols.
