OK, barrel steel and receiver steel of two different hardnesses. I have observed that barrel flanges are sometimes not exactly the same diameter as the bottom of the receiver they are mated to--more often larger than smaller, it seems.

Could it be that, under these circumstances, there are Lugers whose witness marks simply, physically, -cannot- be struck by a single blow of one instrument?
