"P" Privatization question

Yes...also on the M1929 luger...on the rear toggle, a P will be just above the serial number. Also the indication that such a M1929 luger is a commercial-sale one and not an Ordnance pistol.

But I have had to the chance to see 2 M1929 lugers in the P-commercial serial number range with Ordnance military stamps.

Maybe this was a private purchase by an officer and the gun had to be inspected/proofed before it was allowed for military service ???
