Jan,

I've looked in Weimar Lugers and Costanzo; does the manner in which this marking is applied, and its characteristics, look proper to you?

Note, this is not an attempt to "tear this piece down." I understand that these marks may have been pantographed--this is indeed the case with Alphabet Commercial Kriegsmarine pistols, and appears to be the case with the guns pictured in Weimar Lugers--I'm not familiar with them in detail, and just wonder for the education of my eye if this mark falls within the known range of characteristics.
