Ron, I cannot speak to Weimar Navy Luger markings. But, in my list of P06 safety reworks some of the 3 of 22 P06s in the database have the new"Gesichert" pantographed. All have the Capital G followed by lower case letters. Two are nicely milled or filled and milled, one appears to have been welded and rather roughly scraped. This would suggest to me that the Navy had access to pantograph equipment. I can't tell if it was Keil or Wilhelmshaven or both ( or shipboard) doing this marking.

On the other hand, setting a pantograph up for something as simple as a loading tool might seem like an overkill when it would be so easy to stamp. But, again, it was the Weimar navy with time on their hands and mechanics to train.
