stamps of proof marks
 
I am looking for stamps for leather and wood of Navy and other proof marks prior to 1917 for restoration purposes.

RMG,

Most folks here consider that "boosting" and do not look favorably upon it.

A restoration should be just that and not an attempt of presenting the restored luger as original.

By "boosting" do you mean counterfeiting? I do not plan on selling my lugers. I was only interested in restoring them. But you can't really do that without depreciating their value, can you?

Nope,
Any addition of "original" markings, even if it is for your own pleasure, demeans the quality of the gun and can be abused later in time to misrepresent the gun for something that it is not.
You will not find help with any reproduction stamps here...
