The +/M marking is an indication that it is a military piece. The +/V marking on Doub’s Swiss Luger is the inspection mark for Major Vogelsang who performed military acceptance from 1897 to 1912. The +/M on your Swiss Luger indicates acceptance by Colonel Mühlemann, who was the inspector between 1913 and 1941.
