It isn't necessarily the number of guns. It is a property mark and it could include pistols, rifles, swords, etc., in the inventory.

Ron, that's a good point and one I hadn't considered. The OP's Luger is, I believe, the first three digit property number I've seen. It's certainly the highest number I've seen.

As unit marks were stamped at unit level, it would be interesting to see an inventory list. Would they have kept a numerically running list of mixed items or a list separated by type; e.g., Lugers, Revolvers, Swords etc.
