Until a few years ago, the only guns we saw with the 'X' stamp were "Nam bring backs". [source probably USSR?]

No other P38s were seen with it over the years..and, none were seen in Germany [according to my buddy Alex Kruzek]

Then,when Alex went thru the cases of guns Imported from the Ukraine, he saw about 20% of them were 'X' stamped. Alex personally examined more than 3000 guns in that group.

I will accept his conclusion/statement that the X mark is a Russian stamp of some type.
