thanks again mr. peppers, the numbers 21 appear at four different places on the left side of the pistol. the numbers 121 appear at three places on the left side, one on the barrel close to where it joins with the place where the ammo goes, whatever this is called. is it the receiver? if so then 121 also appears on the left side of the receiver. there are no numbers on the right side of the pistol at all. however, there is some kind of engraving or stamping on the front of the "receiver" just in back of the barrel. they are so faint that it is impossible to tell exactly what they are. can you tell what should be there? also what does the word "geschert" mean in english? from the location i assumed safety, but i am learning that nothing can be assumed when it comes to these weapons. thanks in advance.

larry.
