Reichsmarine and Kriegsmarine Lugers are scarce and desirable. Only 3000 1940/42 Lugers were procured by the Kriegsmarine. Of these only 2000 were property marked. Ref: Jan Still's Third Reich Lugers pg 65.

As of mid 1940 the Navy stopped marking their Lugers. Prior to this the only marking used after 1934 was an N (Nordsee) or O (Ostsee) followed by the number. The use of M/Anchor had ceased circa 1934.
