August is obviously thinking of the Alphabet commercials which are so plentiful here in the US. The simple answer to the difference is the military acceptence stamps and proofs as apposed to commercial proofs.

So, my luger spent a couple days with Lugerdoc. After inspecting it (we found the hold open is not a matching no.), he put together a breech assembly with firing pin and extractor that'll let me shoot the thing without fear of breaking the original numbered parts.

So I took it out this evening and put about 50 rounds through it. Other than one misfeed (I blame my reloads), it functioned wonderfully. Loving this gun.
