Grip fonts

Are these the steel stamps used for "unit markings"???

I don't have any knowledge of a Reichsministerium regulation on size & font...I'd just like to know how they stamp a curved surface and get uniform depth and definition on the stamped letters...

It's pretty much impossible to find "curved" stamps even in this day & age...Where did the Germans get theirs??? Each machine shop/toolmaker make their own???

Postino, it's still done today as it is refered to as roll stamping.

George - So you're saying that every Regimental Armorer had a hydraulic press and rotary stamps available, plus the necessary fixtures to hold the Luger grip frame in place???

I find that hard to believe...

Of course, I've seen stranger things...
