Portuguese Navy Lugers

[Ron Wood]

Now I see what you are talking about. That is the part I was referring to as "damage" because it should not be there. It does sort of look like chain links but it is not part of the original crest. I am virtually positive that the illustration in "Lugers at Random" and the photo that you posted as "Type One" are the same gun, only the white filler in the crest is not present in the "Type One" photo.
