The Birds?

Hi,

Why are these three guys stamped on the slide near the barrel on the right side of my 1920 Luger?

(See attached photo)

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

Those are proofs and acceptance marks applied during production by inspectors showing that it passed inspection. Different variations will be found on nearly all Lugers.

That particular combination indicates a 1920 DWM police model.

Do you have more pictures?

Thanks for the info, guys--it meshes with other feedback from my "Butt stamp" question in the Unit Markings section, where I uploaded several different views, if you are interested in seeing them.
