Struck Or Engraved...?

Thanks all for the help...

My shooter's serial number is # 81872. Per Still's Weimar luger book, on page 13; this gun fell into the .30 cal or 9 mm Commerical range of # 74845-87000 and not a later Swiss Commerical contract range (est. 50 guns only) of # 87132-87141.

So my shooter had a Swiss chamber marking, roll-die "added" at some point in time. Maybe in Switzerland by a local gunsmith who had a very "tired" roll die or by some shade-tree gunsmith here in the States...

Who knows...who cares...? It's only a shooter but very accurate and lots of fun at the range...

Regards,
