New 2 Forum, Luger Identification help needed please

Your "TCS" marking is actually one of the sets of proofs found on the left receiver of the 1908 First Issue Military Luger (as correctly identified by SteveM). Reading from left to right, the "guy dancing" is an eagle, the "maybe a U with a crown" is a German Fraktur alphabet character and is probably a "T", and the last character is a Fraktur "Z".

To the guys that are trying to talk down the gun, tell them to walk west until their hat floats. They do not realize what a nice specimen this is.
