Thanks Ron:

Yes, your information helps to clarify what I am seeing. There are so few examples though a proper conclusion is not forthcoming; as of yet.

Your second letter Ã¢??BÃ¢?Â is not the same as the Letter Ã¢??PÃ¢?Â I am seeing on the RP Lugers, so that must have changed at some point or may not be consistent.
I did not expect the other inspector marks below the first two to be of use as they appear to be random in nature.

That letter Ã¢??FÃ¢?Â at the top may be the point to watch for.

One other question for you: Does your Royal Navy display an Early DWM barrel inspector proof in the front frame well? This proof is shown at the top of page 189 in CostanzoÃ¢??s World of Luger Proof Marks referenced as 106. It appears as a shield with a slash across it.

Any information is always appreciated
