Piet,
Many of these early military Lugers will have the final inspection mark stamped over a second small crown. This is particularly true of the Crown/Z and Crown/T marks on 1908 First Issue Lugers. The photo of #274f definitely has the small crown and I am qiuite sure that is the case with your beautiful Luger.
