Looking at purchasing a luger.

Regarding the machining marks at the base of the butt around the magazine well: my 1936 S/42 exhibits the same marks. By their size, depth, and regularity they are obviously machining marks, artifacts of manufacture.

Regarding the trail under the safety lever (or lack of same): I have two Lugers which have seen very little use (one a re-blue, one original) whose wear trail is so light that it can only be seen if the light is just right for it.
