Actually, I would be more inclined to think that is a sign it would not be marked as proofed. Many of the Lugers bearing a GERMANY export stamp do not bear any proof marks. Since they were not being sold in Germany and there was no commercial requirements for proofing imported guns in the US at that time, it was kind of up to the whim of the manufacturer whether the guns bore proof marks or not (I suspect the guns were "proofed" as a quality control measure but not necessarily formally marked as such). Just my WAG.
