PR, I too have seen this crown stamp, usually over the suffix letter on frame and barrel of some 20 Commerical lugers that still had the DWM toggle present. An unmarked toggle would suggest 1929 BKIW production. Some say that this crown was added by some Arab nation on the fabled "Riff" contract. To me the crown looks European. Since you are there, perhaps you can identify the nationality of the crown, as each nation's seem to be different. TH
