Could anyone direct me to a sorce for the Gothic letter inspector stamps used on DWM and Erfurt P08's?? My eyes are poor, and I can't redially make them out!

Thanx,

Look in the Technical Section of this site, then they are also reproduced in Costanza's book ($200-$250 used), and in several other luger books.

It is in several books, I am just unsure which ones, if I have time I'll look.

The typeface is called Fraktur. Here's a link: http://www.library.yale.edu/catalogi...ic/fraktur.htm

Thanks Dwight....that was what I was looking for!
I thought these letters were Gothic. This will help me ID P08's.
