Fleur de Lys marked lugers

Vlim, you are indeed correct. Someone on the Forum earlier even posted photos from an early French catalog that offered several choices for chamber stampings. No Fleur de Lys was there, however, but the catalog was from 1906. Maybe a 1900 catalog offered this choice. Also, Lugervern, the crests are obviously roll died. Look closely, metal can be seen to be displaced. You aren't able to roll your finger over it but if you could, you can feel it very easily. Also note that an obvious halo can be seen around the stamping. Certain things must be taken on faith if one cannot have the pistols in hand.
