Witness Mark and Barrel Questions

Hi,

The proof marks on the vickers barrel are normal.
The same proofmarks are found in the 'Dutch Luger':

NP (nitro proof)
Crowned GP (London proof house mark)
Crowned V.
serial # between 4182 and 10181.
I suspect the Vickers has had a new receiver somewhere in it's life.

An interesting note on the other barrel:
Quote from 'DL': A few lugers have been observed where the barrel, apart from the "GS" mark, carries a small letter "M". The meaning of this is unknown.
