Proof marks identification.

Just picked up this 1914 Luger and needed help with this proof mark. Anybody have any idea?

Typical proofs - see the FAQ. Also, your gun has been buffed and refinished.

Which one?

Sleadman1 · 01-31-2022, 10:11 PM

The first one was the one I was having trouble locating

I'm sorry, but which one?

Left to right?
The far right one is the proof marking, the other 3 are acceptance markings.

More information is helpful to us and you...
