Will do. A thorough cleaning and oiling is scheduled for this weekend after I return Saturday from another work trip in Hobbs, New Mexico (I'm a professional traveler) before going to San Francisco on Monday. I'll check for any hidden engraved numbers when I take it down.

In addition to my previous description, my gun has the standard US export 'FBM' proofs on the top of the barrel and above the take-down lever. Both mags are stamped with the 'Mauser' logo on the flat side. The test target has no date on it.

2 questions.

Is my safety lever backwards from normal Luger pistols??

This may sound stupid, but how is the loading tool used to load the magazines?? The manual doesn't say and I don't want to do it wrong and risk damaging something.

Thanks,

-ML
