Default Portuguese Navy Lugers

I am getting ready to add a Portuguese Navy Luger to my collection and want to make sure I have the basics of what I am looking forâ??please comment on anything I donâ??t have correct.

Two variations: from a 1910 DWM contract

First:
Crown/Anchor or Royal Portuguese Navy Crest
350 made serial numbers 1 thu 350 approximately
CARREGADA left side of extractor
Polished lower safety area
MP proof left side of receiver

Second:
R.P./Anchor or Republic of Portuguese Navy Crest
300 made serial numbers 351 thu 650 approximately
CARREGADA left side of extractor
Polished lower safety area
M proof left side of receiver

Correct magazine for both guns have Circle/Triangle proof
Spare Magazines have cal 9 M/M

Question:

In â??Lugers at Randomâ? page 137 the RP/Anchor Luger is shown with an anchor that is different than what is shown for the Royal Crown/Anchor Luger on page 133â??are there two different types of R.P /Anchor crests? All of the anchors on the RP/Anchor crests I have seen so far do not show this variation.

Any suggestions for buying one of these Lugers would be appreciated.

Thanks

Vern
