Charly, the left mark E/135 is an intermediate inspection (Waffenamt) mark, the middle is also a E/135 and it's the final inspection mark, yes it's a 135!! The right mark is a firing proof test mark and is an eagle over a swastika.

Hi guys! Long time no post.. anyway, I sincerely apologise for bumping such an old thread, but I was taking hi-res pics of my 41 today and I noticed that my second 135 sure does look like a 136 too. Makes me wonder if the mark engraver didn't make it kinda look like a 6 on purpose just to screw with future owners =)

Anyway, just for the archives.
