Dwight:

Page 122 bottom left of German Small Arms Markings from authentic sources.

Ã¢??Pistols obviously out of aim will be marked "Z" by the officer after the third hit outside of the circle"

This reference is a pretty good one and highly recommended. For Imperial Lugers I tend to think of the Ã¢??ZÃ¢?Â stamp as a reject proof, after 1918 itÃ¢??s anyoneÃ¢??s guess.

I am still pretty new to collecting and tend to get hung up on the details listed in the references, not all are correct and I have been miss lead more than a few times, please let me know if you think I miss read this instruction.

Thanks

Vern
