Hi Toggletop,
No one really knows :-(
The minority of the recently imported (from the CIS) Lugers, P.38â??s, and Mauser Kar98k have a â??Xâ? someplace, and usually in front of the frame or receiver serial number. Pistols with this â??Xâ? mark were seen before the recent flood of imports on pistols that were never behind the Iron Curtain, so this mark is not unique to CIS firearms.
Speculation is that itâ??s a CIS rebuild mark - but thatâ??s just a guess :-(
Warm regards,
Kyrie
