I have what I believe is a Wiemar Luger with Versailles mandated factory shortened barrel .... DWM 1917 / 1920 DWM # 6944i with the artillery chamber-top notch, but matching numbered 4" (actually 3-7/8" from chamber face) barrel which does not carry the subscript but has a definite dot after the 6944. The blue looks original to me, but the barrel number has a faintly buffed look to it at the number, where the top of the six is gone, cratering very faint, and no halo. If this is a contentious or controversial ID, photos can be posted, but it seems pretty straightforward to me.

Is there any particular significance to the stamped dot ?
