Mum Luger...

Yes, I found that out independently just now. Here is some of a message I just got. There is an article from a back issue of Banzai on Lugers with Japanese markings suggesting extreme caution. If I recall correctly, the author's conclusion was that there were no authentic cases of Lugers with Japanese markings although the Japanese did use some Lugers they captured from the Dutch in the East Indies. Another Banzai article (or maybe it was the same one?) concluded there were no examples of authentic mums on handguns despite their ubquitous presence on rifles. I love doing research, and his thread was interesting, even if I was wrong.
