Wolf, The "R in W" Mauser inspectors marking used on some PO8 parts from 1938-42 is attributed to R. Weiss by John Walter in his "The Luger Book" on page 239. This die was also used for proofing on HSCs by the French during their occupation of the Mauser factory (lower left trigger guard area) and perhaps (?) on other firearms assembled from left over WW2 parts.
