At a recent gun show I ran across a luger with the Ulm proof -antler on the left front of the receiver. What is the significance of this proof on a luger? The dealer told me he thought it was a rework, that was probably used for police. The gun was a DWM with a double date -1920 - 1918, if I remember correctly. There was no sear safety and no magazine safety on the pistol.
I am curious as to why the pistol would have this peculiar proof.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks, barr
