The marking is probably legitimate for the reasons already discussed. However the markings were not stamped as stated by Sam, they are obviously pantographed. That is a great letter to keep with the gun. Sam Costanzo was an outstanding Luger researcher. He didn't get everything right, but what he did get right - and documented - is monumental.
