Al,
* Ron is essentially correct save for one tecnicality. The 4 stamps on the left receiver are not all "proof marks".
- The first three stamps on the left are Imperial Army Inspector's Acceptance stamps applied progressively as the pistol's components became fabricated and assembled into a complete, fully functional firearm per Army specifications.
- The right most stamp is the firing proof eagle stamp. I think the German term is Beschussadler.
* I know: Picky-Picky-Picky. Felt compelled to comment 'cause this info will accompanying a Museum display to be seen by the general public and we are the educational Forum source.
Respectfully,
Bob
