The "m" is part of the serial number, and a suffix. 5621m. A military accepted Luger should not have the Mauser barrel logo on the toggle.

It looks like there may be a Crown/U mark on the left side of the receiver above the serial number digits. If that is the case, this is likely a Russian Capture rework, and may have been refinished at that time.

Does the inside of the trigger plate have either a "36" or "37" stamped inside?

Are there import marks anywhere on the pistol? Does it have a large "X" stamped anywhere?

Yes, the left side, above the 5621, it looks like a crown with a u attached.

I don't see a 36 or 37 anywhere. On the very top there is a 39 stamped.

No x marks anywhere.

Thanks!
