Thank you Albert for that update. It confirms my belief that this is a pushbutton stock Luger. The fact that it does not have a GL toggle marking brings me to my thought about the "B" suffix. The style of the "B", the fact that it is struck at a slight angle, and that it possesses a halo leads me to believe that it has been added. Someone either thought because it has a 10000 serial number it is a prototype and should have a B, or it was a deliberate attempt to pass it off as a prototype/demo piece. It is unfortunate in either case since the gun is rare enough on its own. I do not believe this piece left the factory with a B-suffix.
