It's very rare to find bogus unit marks on a pistol. Very few people know how to translate them correctly, and stamps in the correct old world font are nearly impossible to find.

Up until just the last few years, most collectors weren't interested. Even now many consider them to be a drawback to a Luger's collectability and value. So, boosters are just beginning to add them in hopes of hooking novice Unit Mark collectors.

This one is done in a convincing font, but the lack of periods does raise a red flag. Unit marks are often found to be not to regulation, and it takes an experienced eye.

The halos on this Luger are a joke IMO, and make the unit mark very questionable.
