The font is indeed different. In fact there are a number of components that have one of two different types of fonts. After considering your post I read the article authored by Tom Armstrong advising on the proper inspection techniques for a Navy Luger. Tom mentions more than once that the serial numbers font should match exactly.
I followed a number of other tests suggested by Tom and found that everything else seems to be correct, down to the smells as he described. Iâ??m curious now. Everything else about the gun seems to be genuine.
