WW2 Navy Lugers??

The Nordsee and Ostsee markings are what I was referring to by "property marks".

Most, if not all had some type of marking indicating Navy use prior to 1940. Some had an Eagle / M or Eagle / Anchor pantographed on the side panel or grip strap. Many had the N. or O. property mark in addition to these markings. Weimar reworked Imperial Navy Lugers will often retain the small Crown / M proofs, and the 1917 frame date.
