All AE Lugers were marked GERMANY from the beginning except for the roughly 2000 pieces in the approximate 6000 to 8000 serial number range, of which 1000 were the Test Trial guns. The first production AE was serial number 2002. So yes, if a AE Luger has a serial number of 9502 it absolutely has to have the GERMANY stamp.
