Default Re: Serial number suffix

According to Costanzo (World 0f Lugers) on page 207, item 176-176a this is destruction proof for Lugers which did not meet factory or military specs and were deemed hazardous. They were to be destroyed and not reissued or reworked. He further states some of them excaped. I have a DWM with that X on the left side of the frame near the chamber and have fired many rounds thru it and nothing adverse happened, yet.
