No, that is apples and oranges. The first illustration in my original post "Rotated 180 degrees" is the correct illustration, it just should not have had the additional "(Mirror Image)" notation because it isn't a mirror image. The correct orientation of the "N"should be with the two serifs on the left vertical stroke and a single serif on the right vertical stroke. Since the stamping tool was rotated 180 degrees (stamp held upside down) when the impression was made on the subject Luger receiver, the N on the receiver as shown has the two serifs on the right vertical stroke, therefore incorrect.
