Hi Thor:

Thanks for the idea... however, I checked these lists out before I asked, and like every other similar list I've already seen... my alpha prefix character is NOT shown. I suspect that my mark is either an intentional special symbol, or (more likely) a hand mistake of some sort (maybe it's intended to be an "a", a "p", or a "q"... but it's plainly not (looking at all the different translation charts). Maybe too, it's a very old representation of one of the German characters... that's a possibility.

My luger is not "blue" nor does it exhibit any blue tints in any kind of light. It's definitely various shades of black... and very shiney.

My saftey is not painted in.

As Bill M. concludes, my variation here sounds odd and unusual enough to conclude that my piece is not correct. If so... it's some hell of a good "after-market" job... ha-ha !!

Thanks for your time & efforts !
