In The Mauser Parabellum 1930-1946 Analysis of a Million Lugers Pistols by Don R. Hallock & Joop Van de Kant, Page 244, there is a list of the 41-byf CVs ( collector variation ).
41-byf CV2 describes a 41-byf Luger with a SE-655 and a SE-135 acceptance marks and test proof TP-3.
41-byf CV3 describes a 41-byf Luger with a SE-135 and a SE-655 acceptance marks and test proof TP-3.
My question is why these two Lugers are considered two different variations just because the acceptance marks are opposite /different stamped on the Luger pistol? That is, the first 41-byf the SE-655 is the first on the left and the second 41-byf has the SE-655 second from the left.
