Steve,
The acceptance stamps on the right receiver aren't Oriental, they are Crown/X, C/Q, C/F (gothic letters).The last proof to the right (eagle) is a firing proof... all correct. The Bo 30 indicates a Bohler steel barrel. 8,82 is the measurement in millimeters from land to land of the bore... again all correct. They used commas instead of decimals. Estimated production of 1914 DWM Lugers: 38,000. Info- Central Powers Pistols, Jan Still.
