Nazi Proof Marks

[bobcat444]

Anybody up on their Nazi Weapons Stamps? I have a Walther TP(?), 6.35mm
brought home from Germany after WWII with interesting stamps on Receiver, Frame and Slide. Looks like an N turned sideways then a flower petal like mark with a D in it. I know some weapons were made in Denmark but I would not have thought Walther would be one of them.  Any help with resources would be appreciated.

Pictures would be a great help. There are a couple of "nazi proof mark" sites on the web. I'm sure we can get this figured out.

I don't speak/read German, but found this, which may help with model ID.  The TP/TPH didn't come about until the '60s, but earlier models were chambered for the 6.35 (.25ACP) also.

The "N" is for Nitro, as in Nitrocellulose based powder (Smokeless).
The "D" is most likely for Deutsche.

Here is a listing of proof marks from BluebookInc.

This may help with model ID also:

Thanks for the responses. I found a Walther Forum that was very helpful.
The "weapon", if you can call it that, is a late Model 2 or early production 5
according to the experts.  Not rare in it's day, BUT 90 years later not something you stumble on at a Gun Show.  The stamp is an "N" over a Crown. Again pretty common for that era.  Here's the best photo from my little Camera.

Cool little pistol!

It's about as compact as it gets. About 2/3 the size of my F I E 25ACP.
I've never been a pocket carrier, but this one would certainly qualify.
Too bad the bore is rough or I might try to shoot it.  Just a relic at this point.
