Stefan,

Thank you for this additional information. Believe me, your English is much better than my French or German.

I ask because I recently acquired a 1904 vintage Swiss M1900 Luger from the second DWM batch that had a barrel replacement. It has a mark centered on top of the barrel that I cannot identify, The barrel is properly serialized on the bottom near the rear flange, and the numbers are not perfectly struck. The unidentified mark is similarly imperfectly struck.

I've attached a photograph of the mark. Please let me know if you can identify anything from it.

Thank you again, Marc
