Thanks all

I went back to the original pistol and under a magnifing glass

Like Ron said the two stamps on the left receiver and frame

are eagle over 6 . There is also one other eagle over 6 on the barrel that can barely be seen on picture number one if looking down on the deathhead is at 10 oclock. I went to the weimer and early nazi luger book by Still and on page 17 found the eagle over 6 Simson proof marks . I also found another stamp mark that Mr Still called a Simson Army test Proof. On page 70 of the book I found the pictures of that proof mark on various guns on that page and following pages . It is almost identical to the mark on the right side of the barrel of the gun I bought .
If any body can look at that proofmark again and see if they agree it would be helpful. Thanks for stimulating me to look these marks up. I also looked at the mark that was a Police Technical . I could not find it anywhere in any book that i possess so Ron if you could tell me more about were and why it was used I would appreciate it. Anyhow thanks again and anyother comments are greatly appreciated

Thanks
