Serial Number Overstrike - with Picture

Double strikes are rare but they do occurre. See page 31 Third Reich Lugers or page 11 Axis Pistols for an overstrike of the S/42 on G date sn 200e. I used to own a K date with a partial overstamp of the serial number on the side plate. In my experiense, the inspectors did not throw out parts for small mistakes such as these.
