Ted..Exactly the marking I observed on a 1937 HK Luger Bill Baumbeck brought to my house a day or two ago..We tore it down to the last screw and pin to authenticate it as 100% original and matching..it was. I think Bill bought it from Tom Whiteman. Trust but verify? An absolutely gorgeous piece of old World craftsmanship. At the very least a 96% pistol but could easily approach 97 or 98. I took off the grips and was stunned..really beautiful. Even the pin that holds in the extractor was beautifully rounded on the left side..flat on the right and strawed! It slipped right out with just the nudge of a brass wire drift. NO corrosion anywhere on this pistol and the bore was like new. Truly a desk drawer pistol. It was pure pleasure to have handled it.
