Hello Vlim!
You are more or less right. The R with the shield is the proof mark of the hungarian MKH (www.mkh.hu)
Here is the hungarian operative law about proofing weapons and ammo. You can find the proof marks at 15 §.
The R /w shield is only the proof mark of the periodic inspection, which must be done every 10 years. Practically, they aren't doing anything with the weapon, but putting their damn stamp on it, and give you a bill of 30 EURO. They aren't "inspecting it" at the practice. (I have got a .22 LR rifle, which have had a broken firing pin, but it passed the periodic inspection). They are not doing any repairs, it's a miracle itself, that they can identify a gun.

Please if anybody can give me any info about my gun based on the SN number (month of production, etc.) let me know. Now I'm really curious about the barell. I know nothing about the past of my LUGER.

Best regards,
Tom
