Pictured on page 454 are three early Stoeger marked Luger Pistols with the title: Three early Stoeger marked Luger pistols, 1922 – 1926.

Here we can see the front of the muzzle and the serial number with the suffix "n" from the "alphabet" series of undelivered Lugers DWM converted to post war commercial guns for sale anywhere.

In any case as a complete rig, this is a rare find out of an old collection. The fact that Stoeger ordered and advertised different 9mm barrels lengths the Crown U appears on a DWM Barrel that has the distinctly cut barrel band of DWM leaving open the possibility that the barrel was changed and the third-line added by Stoeger to one of the first American Eagle two-line alphabet guns. Other dealer/seller comments regarding 80703: See in above reference for 1922-1926 Stoegers. that it is certain that the third-line was not applied by DWM before the end of 1929 and that this may have been done by either Stoeger or Mauser on the request of Stoeger. In the description, the gun dealer quotes sections from The Mauser Parabellum 1930 – 1946 by Hallock & van de Kant.
