As a final reply to this post, I did in fact go back and check out the Luger in question. Based on the data from the book I mentioned previously, I was able to account for everything on the pistol in question ("GERMANY" stamped on the frame, a British tonnage number on the bottom of the barrel) EXCEPT for a crown N proof. As such, I passed on the gun, even though the shop offerred a hefty discount.

What I got instead was a very nice 1917 DWM artillery model! All parts (even the magazine) are matched and the gun is in NRA 90% (or so) condition.

Apparently all the Lugers being offerred are from the collection of a man who took a job up in New York and didn't want to mess with the hassle of taking his firearms with him.

Thanks again everyone!
