In looking at examples here and elsewhere I see that many examples have proof marks on the right side of the receiver and mine does not. Would mine have had these at some point?
Proofs on the right front of the receiver were applied to military guns. Commercials, of course, would not generally have them. I believe,however, that the occasional example is encountered that wound up in military service--but then again, I'm doubting that a .30 Luger would wind up in this situation because 9mm was probably preferred.
