Front Sight Markings

I am embarassed to admit that after all these years fooling with Lugers I have just noticed the markings on the forward surface of some front sight bases. For example, a 1915 DWM shows an indecipherable mark, a 1920 commercial shows the letter "D", and a 1921 date police has an "OC". I have not checked all the Lugers yet, but so far I have not found any markings on Lugers after 1939. So far I can't find any reference to this in the books, but I am still looking. Can anyone throw any light on these marks?
