More on Kurt Jaeger Mainz
While I was inspecting the gun today I discovered what I think may be the actual engraver's marks. It is my understanding (based on some web-searching today) that Kurt Jaeger did not necessarily do all the engraving in his shop. The marks in the photograph are on the top of the receiver and the barrel (where the barrel mates to the receiver). The appear to read "PW" or possibly "PIW".
If anyone else has a Kurt Jaeger piece, I'd be very interested in seeing if you also have these very small initials embedded in the engraving. Note the incredible detail in the tiny acorns!
