The 'New Safety' proof mark,
showing the inter-twined N and S, along with the last three digits
of the serial number, that also appears, in full, just below the
hammer, on the rear of the frame. If your hammer has NS but no
number, then it's probably not original to the rest of the gun.

Unknown proof mark. Consists of a
stylised eagle, with the text "HZA JL18" stamped beneath it, found
within the C96 mailing list image folder. |
 |
Unknown proof mark.
Appearing to consist of two interlaced letters, "M"
and "W", on the outside bottom part of the trigger guard.
Suspect they might stand for "Mauser" and "Werke",
but the source is unknown.
From a C96 mailing list query by Robert Barr.
