No, any numbers or letters inside would be Mauser 'worker' letters or numbers and no known meaning is known

Sometimes you find an 'X' on the Russian capture lugers and sometimes you don't - it would be obvious if there was one, usually on left hand side near the serial number

-I found the Luger Identification Form but do not know how/where to submit it.
this is helpful in identification, no one person keeps a master listing (except for specialty collectors) i.e. Simson (me), Krieghoff (Tom), Navy (Norm), etc - so, lugers like this, I do not know of a master listing
