Chuck Duke says: I have seen this same proof many times, it is a
contract purchase proof that is found on specific units such as police,postal,RLB, and naval. In this case seeing that the luger is North Sea marked it is a naval contract purchase.
This is a very nice variation to have. Chuck Duke
Chuck, could you please point out where we might see this proof published anywhere? Costanzo does not seem to be as familiar with it as you are.
This mark is phoney baloney for a number of reasons.
The Nazi's never placed the swastica in a teardrop. It was always a perfect circle on acceptance marks.
The Navy M was always in a capital letter, never in lower case. The n was often in lower case but not the M.
The swastica is always perfectly formed, the one shown is not crossing in the center exactly and there are little curly ends. Not right my Friends.
So Chuck, please let us know if I am wrong. I love to be proven wrong and if so, you will get a sincere apology. Jerry Burney
