Hi Tac,
The Mauser Parabellums were proofed by the Ulm proofhouse, thus have the staghorn mark.
We have observed that Mauser Parabellums, proofed until 1972 indeed have the 2 last digits of the year and those proofed from 1973 onwards have letter-coded dates.
It appears that the Walther target pistols, having staghorn stamps, are proofed by the Ulm proof house as well.
Do they have date-letters (A-J combinations) or date-digits (75 - 97)?
