I have been doing some research, it now appears that commercials in this configuration were not always proofed or at least not visibility proofed.

I can not explain this but seeing is believing.

I will add a note here: One of the biggest mysteries about 06 Russians is the total lack of proof marks; it now seems that this may be perfectly normal. Of course it explains where they might be coming from too. I guess it depends on what side of the fence youâ??re on.

I find the out of sequence commercials very interesting guns to study, I donâ??t believe they are fakes, I simply believe we donâ??t know as much as we think we do about Luger production and because they stick out like sore thumbs we misclassify them.
