There are 1920/23 up to 29 Commercial Lugers void of the Nitro Proof, or any proofs. Again. I asssume from what Mr. Wood is saying, he agree's with me? I have seen them, and they were not refinished in any way. Not all were even marked GERMANY but sold in the United States commercial market. They were original. I will find the name I am referring too.Proofing was a European requirement, it is something we do not do in the States. Hence, can we say they must be proof marked? we However, this also does not mean they weren't proof tested. Or inferior or faulty guns.

Another example are Glocks. SOme bear the Austrian Nitro proof and were sold in The United States, and some do not. NOW the 4th generation Glock made for the US market are no longer proof marked for they aren't tested, but their barrels bare the corrrect hardening mark, and get this. Glock again in 2012 will resume proof testing and proof marking their guns for the US market. But the one not proof tested are just as good as the one's that aren't and they left Austria that way. It is a Euro requirment not a US one, so if the guns are meant to be shipped here, they can be void of it, Germany had a lot of other things to worry about in 1923 than proof marking all their lugers.

Thanks.
