Sandbagger123 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 that's probably a proof house stamping. guns going into many European countries need be inspected and proofed before being sold. Don't see it in America though except from guns produced in europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickBlasta Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 They're proof marks that handguns need to have to be sold in the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 They are marks to show the gun is a 'factory second' and has some damage. Hence they send those to Europe cheap. ..... just kidding. They are test marks/proof marks as the guys said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frants Pedersen Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I think it's German approval, meaning your STI came to Europe through Germany, most approvel in Germany is made by this company: http://www.deva-institut.de/home.php, if you are from Holland most likely you can read German // Frants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardust tommy Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I can't see the photo but there are 2 options German import from Karl Prommersberger or Belgian import of Paul Coppens who used to import for the Benelux. Now Mark Van Mulekom is the new importer for the Netherlands and HPS for Germany. (if the STI pistols wil reach the customers) Karl Prommersberger has the rights on the brand STI pistols in Europe, since he is in conflict with STI Texas and he now produces his own STI Europe Pistols it will take a wile before the new delivery of STI pistols (wich are already at customs) will be in the shops. gr Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
