Thanks to all for the kind words.
To Jerry,
I can only hazard a very unprofessional guess that it is not a military stamp nor is a amateur stamp. It appears to me that someone along the line took it to a professional print shop and had that name engraved in the leather. The mystery will never be solved as who belongs to the name I guess.
To Ron,
I do appreciate the compliment you bestowed on me by implying my new beginning. I acquired my first Luger in 1959 and this is my 4th artillery. I must admit however, the drive to find more and thrill of discovery does not ease with age. The advent of the Internet and this forum has brought more meaning to Luger collecting in the past few years than all the previous years added together.
Thanks,
Mike
