"this work was accomplishedby Navy dockyards or armories; the quality varied greatly. The "GESICHERT" restampings ranged from identical to the original to crudely misaligned lettering, while the original safety markings were eliminated by punching, grinding, or milling or by filling in and remilling.".
My 1906 1st issue altered navy Luger was crudely redone with the old "GESICHERT" still readable. The newly punched "Gesichert" has a capital "G" with the remaining characters in small cap. There is a lettering style change between the original and the new.
