"P" Privatization question

Hi Tom,

Thanks for your informative posting.

About 2 years ago, I did have a chance to buy a M1929 Brown P-commerical luger in person at a gun shop in Michigan State.

What was curious is that this luger had 2-3 little Swiss cross inspection marks on it...in addition to the BP stamping. Side of barrel, left side of receiver, and top of rear toggle link. the BP was along the shoulder of the barrel where it screws into the receiver.

Possibly this one went through an official arsenal repair at some point in time ???

I was not lucky to buy this gun as the Owner and I were about $ 800 apart in our opinions as what the gun was worth. Since he Owned the gun, it was really only his opinion that mattered...

Unfortunately, I was on a business trip and did not have my camera. When I returned about 3 weeks later, the gun was sold.
