The N property marked LP08 have a different pattern of marking than most other Weimar Navy marked Lugers. These markings are mostly pantographed.
The three Navy LP08 shown in Weimar Lugers have the following inscription pattern:
page 93 LP08 M/anchor/1282/N
page 224 LP08 E/M(2)/1561/N
page 225 LP08 M/anchor/1692/N
The M/anchor or E/M is over the property number which is over the N.
This pattern is also shown in the Luger illustrated above: M/anchor/1201/N
The sharp end to the lines in the inscription of M/anchor/1201/N may indicate engraving instead of pantographing. Ron Wood is a real expert in determining if markings are engraved or pantographed.
What are the uncharacteristic parts of the markings that you are refering to?
