German markings

By "not having any German marks on it" do you mean NO marks? Because ANY mark placed on a WW2 era Luger would be a German mark.
If you mean nazi era acceptance stamps or other arsenal or factory stamps; there have been pistols that have turned up, which collectors call "lunch box specials" which were smuggled out of the factory in pieces and assembled later. These will bear either no or very few marks.

A few more. The straw color is strong but the pictures do not show that.
