The other letters and numbers stamped in less visible places are production inspection stamps. They were used to indicate completion and acceptance of production steps along the way to becoming a Luger.

The letters, numbers and symbols were generally associated with individual workers.

So based upon these pics in your opinion would you shoot this commercial version ever. So you think its 1918 production not 1942 like I was told?

I ended up resizing the pics to load the thread faster as suggested.
