Gerben & Frank,
Thanks for chiming in - one last note on the Dutch connection.... it was in the Netherlands that Benjamin Franklin finally found the financing for the American Revolution. I thought this was a timely observation considering the backround of those on this thread and the fact that our indepedence celebration, the Fourth of July, is coming up this weekend.
Still curious about those marks on the reciever - I know I've seen them somewhere, but I can't place it. It also appears that they were stamped three times....anyway, I think I'll move up and read the thread above on Dutch East Indies Lugers as one of my projects for later this year is to purchase a Dutch luger (finally!)
Bob
