During a trip out of town this week end I came across a 1918 DWM with what I think are BRITISH PROOFS MARKS? Description as follows:

Standard matching DWM 1918 dated MILITARY P-08
All blue ( salt reblued ) no strawed parts
Proofmarks: *
BNP
( small circle on top of capital BNP letters )
on most parts including: breechblock, toggle & rear of frame ( possibly other parts I didnt see as I looked at it quickly...)

Chamber marked 1918 with *
BNP on top of the date

Under the barrel are some British markings ( by memory...) 9mm 7.52 TONS PER SQUARE *
BNP

plus some little CROWNS and letters in circle...

Having previously seen British weapons before I know those markings are genuine BRITISH.....I went through my limited library but I cannot find information on this LUGER....

Story is that it was purchased in Europe a while back by a CANADIAN AIR FORCE Pilot posted in GERMANY....

Please help ID this LUGER....

Thank you,
