Your initials, for example.

While some collectors are honest and wouldn't attempt to pass your work off as factory original, others are not so honest and would rob the pennies from their dead mother's eyes. The initials should also be somewhere on the frame AND the cannon, IMO, and done in such a way to preclude anyone removing them without it being very noticeable if the Luger was stripped down for examination. Any "seller" who refuses to allow a strip-down could keep their "mint" pistol.

Just my opinion, of course.
