whcoyote -
I asked because I was wondering if you have a large collection. There are a dozen or more members here who each have a dozen or more Lugers...I know there is at least one member who has over 100 Lugers!!!

Checking them over, perhaps with a magnifying glass
(and a large glass of port) for differences/similarities in the number "3" sounds exactly like something they would do, on a slow night at home...
I don't have any kind of collection, but I was outside in my garage last night comparing connecting rods for Kohler 7hp tractor engines...and I found two that differed in length by 1/8"...
So I am certainly not disparaging your observation on the "3" stampings...I'd just like to see your collection!!!
