Need information on this Luger

Hello thank you for your reply, actually it's not an X it's clearly a Y. The barrel is actually in good condition.

Well, there would be NO reason to put a 'Y' in that location, it is much too low and much too big to be a suffix.

I'd say its a partial 'X" also

Picture #29 of 33 shows a proper sized suffix in the proper location, also eliminating the partial X as a suffix. I *think* it is an "i" which could be correct for a 1940 Mauser, but the angle and glare is to bad to be certain. From what can be see, the size and style seem to match the 1940 "i" as shown in Hallock & vande Kant's book (Appendix B, page 654).
