Bill,

Very interesting about the Luger and P.38 having different meanings; i had never thought of this! Since I opened this "can of worms", let me ask you about the "Asterisk" being used on other weapons produced during this era. I have seen photos of it on a K98k bayonet, and a machinegun (MG-15 I think). I know this is a tough question, but I value your opinion.

I realize this stamp is more prevelent on the P.38 for some reason, but not often seen on the Luger. I have seen the photos in Still's books, and the one I have is the only one I have ever actually seen. It is stamped on the barrel. If things don't get crazy at the plant tomorrow, I will post my "wild theory".
