My first Luger DWM 1917

Hi all,

I have fieldstripped and partial detail stripped my Luger and can't believe what I saw inside. How come there are sooooooo many markings inside other than the serial numbers? I find 'Z' or 'N', 'U' or 'C', 'Q', 'Y' all over the place and so many other unusual markings that I can't figure out what they are...

I wish I can post up some pics but it's just too many of them that I can easily load up 15 or 20 of them up here. Is it normal to have so many markings on a WW1 Luger or could all these have been added over the years from 1917 until now 2009?
