CIAO from Italy.

Just one question for you Military Luger Gurus!

I have just purchased my second (and last - Italian regulations only allow 3 Pistols, unless you have a special collector licence!) P08.

As you can see, the grips are decorated with a SS logo (on both sides)

Pistol is dated 1938 and is a Mauser (S/42)
caliber is 9X21 (converted from 9 Para, which is illegal in Italy.)

I am puzzled about the small SS logos on the grips (which I partly covered in the attached photo to avoid hurting the feeling of any Nazi regalia sensitive members)

Are any special WAFFEN SS logos known to have existed, or can they be just a later add-on "embellishment" ?

Thanks in advance to all WWII LUGER gurus out there!!

Ciao!
