Not necessarily, Bob. According to my conversation with Jan Still, although the great majority of crown RC's were used by Erfurt, DWM did indeed use the marking sparingly. He pointed out a DWM navy artillery in his personal collection which has the crown RC. It is also mentioned in Constanzo's "World of Luger Proof Marks" as being used by

DWM to indicate arsenal repair and reissue, rather than the out of tolerance mark utilized by Erfurt. Since you have the third one with theÃ?Â*dual horizontal crown N's on the right side that I've been able to locate, there has got to be a specific reference to this out there somewhere.

Thanks much for your info. By theÃ?Â*way, both mine and Rick's bear the same 1917/1920 double dates as yours and both are ex-DWM artillery's.
