Another new guy, new to Lugers

Thanks Jerry and Mark, the technical details interest me very much. As for the value, a weekend of fooling with the Luger had me quietly hoping the value wasn't substancially more than what was paid for it. Without the compunction to send the friend I got it from more money, there would be no need to pass it along. I have an HK SR9 on consignment at a local gun store, the thought process had already started to run toward compensating him out of that sale, had the Luger value gone higher.

After looking all over the pistol I have yet to find an unidentified marking other than the crowned G on top of the chamber. You just don't think about how many differents surfaces there are, or even how many different parts make up this weapon, until you start to looking for marks.

I haven't cleaned anything yet other than a wiping with a paper towel. Could there potentially be a mark under the grips? Could the crowned G have anything to do with the reworking?
