Love this "Genuine Luger". Not mine. The mark on this one must be applied by the distributor. Pantography? No halo.

Why did it say "REG. US. PAT. OFF" ? TIA

Edit: Looks like GERMANY stamp was applied in factory before the gun was blued. The rest must come from Stoeger.

When Mauser brought out their line of Lugers in the 70's, didn't they have to call theirs the "Mauser Parabellum" due to Stoeger's trademarking the name "Luger"???

See this discussion http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...ht=import+mark for the U.S. Country of Origin law.
