1940 "42" Luger, Could you ID mark?

Bill,
I have not addressed the asterisk like mark to describe it in any other application than as a penetrator point shape as explained above, and I forcefully state;
"Lets us not accept the "Asterisk" like mark as a hardness test !, Its use, as such, is most impractical and above all else the German weapons producers were not that!
>>>
The Germans were and are very advanced in the art of Materials Testing would never have applied a complex figure as a hardness testing penetrator form !
Several things will forever dispense of this false assumption that they used complex shapes for their their penetrators in hardness testing."
???
I have no opinion nor do I forward any theory as far as its use for other purposes may be concerned.
My knowledge on the subject is purely from an Engineering or Technical Viewpoint.
I leave conjecture on this subject to others !
I wish you every success in finding its true meaning.
