New luger owner "Made in Germany" question

[mrerick]

The photos look like an early post WW-I import, probably done before the 1968 import marking laws went into effect. Prior to that, all that was needed was the country of origin.

Get to know the mechanism, and use care when disassembling it. Remember to lock back the slide before rotating the locking bolt clockwise. It's unusual to see that part broken in that way, so there may be some other problem with fit. The side plate has more wear than the rest of the pistol. You can check for originality by looking inside the plate at the bottom for a number relating to the first digits of the Luger's serial number.
