A friend here in Normandy has 2 pistols (deactivated unfortunately, but that is the way the law goes here) My question is on markings they both have. One is a Radom p35(p), A serial series, 4 figure number, cut for a shoulder stock. The other is a p27(t), serial 137XXX with Bohemische Waffenfabrik stamping on the "spine" of the slide. Both pistols have minute SS runes stamped on each sides On the Radom they are on the slide just in front of the milled cocking grip area, left and right. On the p27 they are on the frame, right hand side, just to the rear on the WaW76 stamp, and on the left side of the slide, to the rear of the cocking grip. All of these stamps require a "glass" to see, being slightly smaller that the letters on the Waffenamy stamps. I will try to scan them, but they are so small it may not be easy.
Have any of you run across such marks before? They are so small it is hard to believe they are there to deceive, in fact my friend was unaware of them for many years, untill someone pointed them out.
