I had that gun in hand at Tulsa, and my impression at the time was that the letter inside the circle was "L". I didn't see any British markings or "not English made", but I didn't spend a lot of time looking it over carefully. My inclination was Belgian, but I have never seen a Belgian proof that large on a handgun. Could it be a rifle or machinegun proof die used to mark this Luger?
