Vertigo,
This Luger definitely was a bargain at 320 Euros in my opinion. The lack of proofs seems to indicate that it is a commercial pistol of DWM manufacture. The number marking on the sideplate "98" sideways is unlike any Luger numbering I have ever personally observed, but I don't have any printed references with me today... Perhaps someone else can comment on the numbering. Since it is in the P-08 configuration complete with stock lug, it would have to have been manufactured after 1906 and before the DWM equipment was transferred (I think in 1933). Please show us a closeup of the right side of the upper receiver where the proof and acceptance stamps normally are placed. The finish looks original, and it has lived a dry but active life... That's about all I can tell you off the top of my (bald) head...  Maybe someone else can recognize it.
