Can you show pictures of the markings?

If I am remembering right, the HZA marking doesn't sound odd to me, but would have to see it.

Thanks Ed.

The Simson I am referring to is #5827, blank chamber that I posted in the Unit Markings forum. It is a Russian capture with the typical replacement Czech-made crown n-proofed barrel, with a ground and force-matched sideplate. I posted many detailed photos in the thread.

I posted many pics of the HZA rework in the "All P-08 Military Lugers" forum. The Eagle and Swastika HzA jt18 firing/test proof is the particular marking I am referring to. The HZA jt3 with a "stick eagle" is the most common marking of this type that I have found in my internet researching, but I've never seen the Eagle and Swastika as part of an HZA stamp. Those much more knowledgeable than I may have some more insight into this unusual marking...
