Opinions Wanted

Hi Marvin,

After reading your post again and again, I have a couple of other questions. First, can we establish that the Mauser factory that made the Lugers was using forced labor, and if so, was it obtained by the SS, and if so, as early as 1940, or before actually, as there would have to be time for a sabatoge to arise to cause this kind of an inspection. In 1940, the P.38's and the Lugers were really starting to be rolled out in huge numbers, and the German Army was rolling over everything in there path without any resistance to speak of. It seems to early to me to have this kind of stuff happening with SS inspections and sabatoge and ect. Also, if this was an SS inspection stamp of some kind, I would think we would see it a lot more on the Lugers. 1940 seems to be the most common with a very few later on. To me, the "hardness test" is still the most logical answer. Just my opinon. Your theory has it's possibilities also.
