The electro penciled numbers are very neat and while I may be wrong, I think there's more to this Luger than someone trying to fool anyone. Check the short thread linked below.

Thanks for the link. I did notice the SU stamp, and had a recollection--albeit fuzzy-- that it is legitimate. What threw me was the electro-pencil work in lieu of number stamp. I agree that the numbers were carefully/skillfully executed.
