Hi Ed ! Thanks for your input too my friend ! I'm kinda like your opinion that a private owner would not have stamps, or a reason to stamp, an inventory ? stamp on his pistol. I think only, like you say, a unit, a company, or some military command would strike a 4 digit inventory #. Would the German Navy of 1900 have done something like this ? It wasn't long afterward ( 1906 ) that they started doing this to Lugers. The overall condition kinda reminds me of saltwater exposure also. This is what has puzzeld me for all these years.
