Darth,
John and George have stepped in during my absence and provided you with excellent info. Two things I might add:
The modification to add the holdopen was performed by the government arsenal at Erfurt and a tiny "proof" or inspectors mark was placed in the frame next to the small pin.
George is correct that pre-1913 Bavarian Lugers are not modified, but I think it can be attributed more to the Bavarian disregard for Prussian directives (to perform the modification) than the outbreak of hostilities.
