Waffenamt Stamp
Has anyone observed a Waffenamt Stamp, Eagle/623 stamped on the barrel of a Luger? In Walter's book "Luger" he does not this stamp, but with reservation as it's ever been stamped on a Luger barrel. He notes that possibly the barrel was made at Steyr Plant. I know that the inspector with the Eagle/623 was located at the Steyr Plant and stamped this on K98k rifles, some Hi-Power pistols, and holsters at a fabricator in Viennia.
I was piqued by this stamp on a Luger barrel as I have never seen or heard of this before. Could this be a stamp placed on a German Depot repaired pistol? I hope someone may know the answers.
