Hi Frank,
Just as well give the faker all the goods so his next batch will be harder to detect.

On all real K-Dates there is an indention on each side of the receiver to the side of where the barrel screws in. What these are and why they are there I do not know, but all real K-dates have them. When a K-Date is refinished they usually polish out these marks. In this case the KM Luger never did have them as that is not a K-Date receiver. There are no indentions on this receiver. ---- Bill
