now THAT my friend is some snow!! More power to you!!

That's what I get for posting late at night after my eyes were crossing doing internet research. Yes, I meant Luger, not Ruger. Thank you for reading typo.

I see a couple of crowns on the list of logos that look similar to the one on this Luger, except that the one on my gun clearly has a fairly large cross on top. I don't see any examples of the lettering
"MGC Manufactory" however. When I type that into a google search, I get many many website written in what looks like Japanese, so perhaps the suggestion it is a Japanese copy is correct. I thought perhaps the 00446 indicated a low serial number, but I guess not.

I haven't started to take it apart, or oil it. Was nervous to do something to damage it. It is very dull and appears to have been poorly treated. It seems like there should be many many markings on it and I can find none other than those three I described. I suppose I will get brave and try working some oil into it and see if anything emerges!!

Thank you for such quick responses. I will dig out the camera and take some photos!
