The blank toggle, inspector marked with a "K" inside, is typical of 1929 BKIW production. Since this part is unnumbered it could be a later replacement and reproofed, as indicated by the same horizontal C/N on the right side. This piece is not consistent with a mid "i" block commerical made in the 1919 to 1921 period. The only reason that I can think of why the inside of the side plate is H/K marked, is if it was also a replacement. Close study of the serial die sets used is indicated. IMHO, if the "i" block luger is not back or side frame marked, it was not marketed by HK. TH
