I agree that I do not see a 'T' either, therefore, unlikely the Argentine President. In my opinion, if the name included a 'de', it would probably be left out and only the main initials used 'MTA' on the chamber engraving. Furthermore, the 'de' looks very crude and not the workmanship of a German engraver at DWM.
When tiny details start to surface which look suspicious, I wonder who was confident to buy this Luger? If the engraved letters used a gold/silver/gold pattern, I have never seen this type of combination on presentation chamber markings which are usually all gold.
