Görtz & Wacker's Handbuch Deutscher Waffenstempel lists the only c/O inspector as Herr Osterode at Danzig.

Dwight, thanks for these references. I looked them up and see what you're saying. They are contradictory since Still clearly shows c/O stamps on Erfurt pistols.

The mark I'm really interested in is c/O (underlined). I wonder if there was another inspector O at Erfurt that G&W missed and that underlines either were not reported to Still or were omitted by him in compiling his list. He lists a lot of c/T markings on 1917 & 1918 DWMs that I'm sure are really c/T. He doesn't list any underlined letters.
