Engraving on German Luger

rstilley · 10-06-2017, 10:11 AM

Have a DMW 9mm Luger with serial #2471 d (might be an a) with engraving on the front and rear of the butt frame. Would like to know what engraving means. Front shows III./J.R.5.6 Rear shows 3 K (K is much larger than the numbers), then an unusual symbol that looks like an old nail or spike, and then what appears to be an upside down 3.
Anyone know what these mean? Thanks!
