Thanks for your expert help.

Today, it is not difficult to apply pantographed unit markings to a Weimar period Luger. The patterns for such pantographs have been found in one disabled fakers work shop. It is very difficult to determine if some pantographed Navy unit markings are correct. Some time ago, a collector friend sold his extensive Weimar Navy Luger collection because it was so difficult to determine what is correct and what is not. Caution should be used in collecting these Weimar Era Navy Lugers.
