Frame mark on artillery luger.

barr · 02-15-2003, 07:08 PM

On my 1917 DWM artillery Luger, the frame and some of the parts associated with the frame are a different sn. than the barrel and action. The frame looks to be newer or at least is in better shape, in that it retains almost 98% of its bluing. Also the trigger is blued to match the frame and has the same sn. There is a mark on the front of the frame just below the serial no. The following is the address for the image of the mark:

Anyone care to speculate on what it signifies? Is there any way to determine who and where the frame was made? Other than the serial no. 9006, and this mark, there are no other marks on the frame. I am hoping that perhaps this mark would be a makers mark.
Would appreciate any help in this area, thanks, barr.
