All,

Went o Bob Adams site; didn't have url for FGS...in any event, one question is nagging at me...given the German Military sense of order, how would one reconcile a piece with TWO property marks? I think that the answer is apparent...will elaborate later after I get home and have an opportunity to confirm some suspicions with my resource material.

Tom A.<hr /></blockquote>It could be, that the gun was handed over to the other unit, but on every piece I have seen (not only lugers) the old unit marking was crossed out with several "X" ..
The place of the second unit marking is not done like the it shoulf be.. and this should be a warning..

On the other hand side: perhaps it is authentic, who can tell what the old folks did?

But in general, the new unit marking was placed on the same place like the crossed out old one.
I have seen Reichsrevolvers with very less space to mark, but they made it..
The new unit marking in this example sounds like the reglement for the army pistols, i think they had it in front of the grip.

(sorry for my bad english, I am trying to learn)
