Is that marking unusual?įinally, much to my chagrin, after purchasing this and disassembly, I found the former owner's name and SSN etched on frame under grip. I have not seen that referenced in past postings. What is that?Īlso note the "J D" letters stamped on the trigger bar. The other mark is lightly stamped on the slide, appears to be a crown over something. Is this a "Kaiser Proof" or "Imperial Acceptance" mark? What is the correct term for this: "proof" or "acceptance" mark? One mark appears to be a crown over A (with squiggly lines about top of the A), this on frame at trigger area. So I assume that is why this pistol has no crown over N (or other civil proof marks). Especially useful was the post by Sauerfan in March 2006 titled "Military & Commercial proofing." My understanding of that post is that the crown over N proof was done for civil market (not military) pistols. I've studied many of the Walther Mod 4 postings and have learned a great deal. I recently acquired a Walther Mod 4 and am trying to determine if it is a WWI German military accepted pistol or not. Married to a wonderful woman who puts up with me and have two grown daughters.
