Hi Robert,

Welcome to the forum.

These are unit marks. The first three in the top photo are Reichswehr 1919-1933. The bottom one in the top photo is a Navy property number, found only on Reichsmarine or Kriegsmarine Navy Lugers.

The bottom two photos are Imperial Army WWI unit marks. They will be found on 1908 1st Issue-1917 Lugers, and are very rare on 1918 dated Lugers.
