The Asterisk - My Theory

Hi,

As far as a rejection mark goes, you guys will have to explain to me why this mark is just on the barrel of Lugers and not other parts? If this is a rejection mark, it would be on other parts also, like the Crown RC on Erfurts. If the barrel is changed or refurbished, why the serial number and suffix and not an 42 or S/42 like the Banners have? The German Military had inspectors which inspected and tested these parts and if they were going to reject one part, they would be rejecting others parts also. I firmly believe these are the original barrels, and that they have not been replaced or changed or rejected. The German military would not have a rejected part on their military weapons, but would have replaced it with a approved part. Also, if this was a rejection mark, why is it mainly found in 1940 and a few later Lugers?
