I think the Gesichert v GESICHERT question is interesting. I am going to start polling my friends with Navy Lugers for the answer.
Tom, can you form an opinion as to whether pistol 130 is stamped with a "word" stamp or single letters.
Jan, do you have an opinion on the stamp used for "Gesichert"? In Imperial Lugers the 1906 unaltered appear extremely uniform in alignment and placement which suggests to me a one piece stamp or a fixture holding the dies.
Thanks, heinz
