East German proof?

Hi,

Yes, it all got confusing when the guys in WÃ¼rttemberg decided not to follow the proof laws to the letter (who knows why?).

The Crown/N, Crown/U, Crown/B and Crown/Crown U are all 'commercial proofs'. Intended for pistols that went to the commercial (non-military) market.

The military had their own proofing regulations and staff. The crown/M is a navy proof and proofing would have been done at the factory under supervision of a navy representative.
