crossed rifles, not an "X"
Guys, I took my 1939 Mauser Luger to a local collector who told me that the "X" in front of the chamber serial is actually a pair of crossed Russian rifles indicating the pistol had been captured by the Russians at some point. Does this hurt or help the value ? Is this an uncommon marking ? Thanks fellers - I know yer 'bout ready to run me off 8^) .
