Richard, I don't mean to throw a monkey into this, but the Lazy S TK is far from accepted by Luger collectors as III Reich period. To most of them, as discussed on the Luger.gunboard.com, the marking could be Imperial, Freikorps, or perhaps SS. This was in discussion in the first Luger books in the 1960s.

Have you done any research on the "SS Weapons System" that you mention above. Have you located any arsenals, the control center of procurement, duplication of effort?

I find it interesting with all the multiple markings found on these weapons you show, the .22 trainers purchased by the SS and shipped to numerous units of the Allegemeine SS were marked simply with the RFSS stamp in the stock.
