What are these proof marks?

Hi, Lugerdoc,

That is quite common in modern German, even in Germany, but when I do a direct quote from something or describe a marking, I prefer to use the vowel and then say it has the umlaut; otherwise it looks like I added a letter.

I once saw a Walther PP that Bubba claimed he captured from Goering. Sure enough, in electric pencil on the slide was "Herman Goering". Do you suppose it could have been fake?
