Eagle J stamping

vdiehl, the "Standard Dictionary of Proof Marks" shows the E/J proof to be a "new proof after repair" and in use from 1939 forward. If you look at the thread on Frankenschloss, I just posted a picture of the proofs on the underside of the barrel of a Frankenschloss rework I own. It's marked E/N and E/J. Your Luger could have been reworked by any number of shops and, IMO, without a stamp it's not possible to determine exactly who did the work. The E/J is a civilian proof as far as I know and will not appear on military issue guns unless they have been reworked for civilian use.
