I've noticed that there's generally a difference in fonts used to mark Mauser and pre-Mauser guns. The later guns have a clean line to their numbers, and the earlier ones have a more fancy script. Also, the size of the Mauser numbers in grips they marked are larger than earlier Lugers. (I can't make out the "15" on either grip.)
