1936 p.08

Hello, I am in awe at the amount of knowledge that some of you guys have on lugers. I am a college student with a love for WW2 memorobilia. I just purchased my first luger as a gift for my father. It is a 1936 Mauser. It is numbers matching including magazine. It has the original holster (as far as I know) and tool. I think it is a fine piece of history. But again, this is my first time. I am looking forward to giving it to my dad. I have one problem. I read that on 1936 lugers the stamp on the right side of the barrel should be 90 degrees clockwise from vertical. This doesn't seem to be so on mine. Is this normal or is it probably a replaced piece?
