Kyle, to be a sneak there are a couple of things to look for, the subscript on the frame of the serial number should be in the r, s, t, or u range. The barrel band (front sight band of the barrel) should be a sharp step (Mauser production) similar to those of a K date Luger. Is the inside of the reciever and frame in the white steel or blued, is the safety area marking (Gesichert) painted in an Off white color? Is there any wear at all on the side of the muzzle or sideplate or the front of the frame rails?

Is the muzzle polished to a matt finish or is it blue. Does the firing pin and hold open device have the same two digit serial as the rest of the gun? Just a few things to look at to see if it truly is an original sneak with an original finish. At the price you paid I would be very suspect if it is over 96% that you got an original gun. But at the price you paid it is about twice what a shooter is worth. I once bought a very nice commercial Luger that I suspected had been reworked by a master. I paid a lot of money for it but it is so beautiful I decided it was worth it to me. Are all the small parts strawed (gold color or tarnished silver if faded), does the gun have in import mark on the bottom of the frame rail right side, or bottomof the barrel or side of the frame, rear right side. Just a few things to consider if you want todetermine the guns value. ~Thor~
