I justed picked up an HK45 and after the serial # on the slide it has the addition of two letters. Every photo i've seen on the internet doesn't have these two letters after the serial #. Is this one of those domestically produced ones by Wilcox?

This is my first H&K, so please forgive me.

Best,

In the future, it would be wise to say what those two letters actually are.

My guess is that you are talking about the new "DE" stamp. Those are a new kind of "Made in Germany" mark seen on new HKs, GSG5s, Walthers, etc.

You're right I should have listed what it was and it was the "DE" stamp. It should have clicked "DE" = "Germany".

Thanks for the help.
