Ron, this is a 'm' suffix, made in the mid 1920's, looking at Dwight's records, the vast, vast majority of those alphabet lugers are marked with a crown N, whether marked germany or not.

What Ron Smith said is what I have been told, to leave the factory, it had to receive proof markings, going to the USA or not.

I don't mind being corrected, but would like to see evidence to the fact that exports did not have to be marked? I only remember reading that the early lugers were found not export marked, i.e. 1900's in the test range.
