New Discovery for Lubecker Machinefabrik pistols

As many of you know I recently acquired a rare S/237 1937 flare gun with very few examples known.
My discovery is that the acceptance is E/26 and not E/214 which is present in all of the following production.
After the first year of production the inspector number changed for some reason. Walther flare guns had E/6 and E/4 until 1936 when e/359 changed to the droop eagle to the common eagle we see.
Erma had E/280 for most of production or E/77 in 1938.
Here is the photo.

Beautiful gun! ... only a very few known!
Here is a photo of the holster also dated 1937 with a 1936 cleaning rod.
Can anyone identify the maker marking?

Then it changed from 26 to 214, somewhere between 3590 a and 4356 a

Hi Mark,
are you sure that E/6 and E/4 are Walther acceptance marks? I do have a few early Walther Steels with this acceptance, but always thought they were reworked by Simson/Suhl and this was their proof? This is what I learned years ago. But your Point makes a lot of sense as on some Steels even the very small parts bear a E/4 or 6 and those would not to be reworked I guess.....
Very interesting Point for me, thanks!
