An Oddball Shooter? Or Rarity (Not)

Edward,
All the Lugers sold by Ye Olde Hunter in the 1950's were never designated 1950 Commercials and that has been almost 50 years ago so apparently time has nothing to do with it.
Maybe Luger collectors 50 or 60 years from now will be calling the recent Russian imports 1990 or 2000 Commercials.
In an A.F. Stoger ad of the period, they proudly proclaim their Luger pistol in this manner: "Here is the real Luger---the same high-grade pistol that was turned out before the war---. Additionally they add: "Do not confuse this Luger with the rebuilt army Lugers---."
