The top left on about all of the script M's have a roof-like slant while the W's have a serif.

Hmm, noticed that myself. Some it was prevalent, others not. The only thing that was consistent was that gap or break under first leg on all M's, which if you open the picture of gun and zoom in it is obvious break or opening. The tops were closed and serifs did not penetrate past closure. I have seen some W that had closed tops but the serifs went all the way through. None of the W's have a break under the first leg. There is so much potential mixing of style in that engrave.

Anyway regardless its either one or the other. But hopefully this helps the guy that needs it. Maybe the German gun guys can shine some light on it.
