Historically, Germans didn't use "kill markings" on small arms. I agree that they were common on aircraft and flak/anti-tank guns but I've never seen legitimate kill markings on a German small arm, particularly a pistol. Remember, pistols were designed primarily as a personal self-defense weapon, not as an offensive weapon. Most kill markings on German pistols were probably added postwar by Amercans to embellish the history, mystique and value of the gun.
