That would amount to about 250 examples of the 1940 dated Lugers. 6100w - 6350w are the examples dated 1940 and also have the Eagle N proofs. The 1939 dated examples are found between 6070w - 6100w and contain about 25 to 30 pistols. This indicates some remaining 1939 dated receivers were used to fill this contract. That is rather odd because the E/N proof did not appear until January 15, 1940, and that proof was mandated by the Proofing Commission for all German proof-houses in Germany. And, yes, that includes those dated 1939. Oddly enough all are Eagle N nitro proofed. This is an interesting lot of pistols because a few were dated 1939 and the remainder were dated 1940. I want to discuss the Swedish contract that is found between 6070w - 6350w. Since my Mauser Banner article in Costanzo's World of Lugers that was published in 1977, I have been adding Banner serial numbers of those published in the article.
