Hi,

I strongly disagree with a refurbish mark. If that was the case it would have a code 42 or S/42 to indicate a replacement, and possibly not a serial number. These barrels are all serial numbered, with a suffix, and I feel are the original issued barrel. They have been inspected or tested, and marked with the "*". These are new Lugers and they saw no refurbishing at this time. I would think the only thing this mark could mean was either as I stated before, a hardness test, or a out of tolerance mark, (like not being hard enough, or too fat a barrel) or a special issue mark -- (like special forces), or a mark of special issue (to Africa Corp). I still feel the mark means different things on different items and the hardness test seems the most logical to me at this time.
