Herbert, the E/N, E/J indicate a post-1939 rework. I have a 1906 Navy, 1st Issue, Altered, that was reworked by Frankenschloss, Suhl, into a .30 caliber and carries the post-1939 proofs. Considering that the post-1939 proofs were not used until January, 1940 (IIRC), and Germany was already at war, it's my opinion that few commercial reworks were made by all of the companies combined after the beginning of 1940.

While Anschutz and VONO are better known than Frankenschloss, they are all known to have reworked Lugers and are not that common.
