This may be a dumb question;
If these were German Government owned Lugers such as the above Erfurt, how did this "officer" Loblich or others obtain ownership? Was the military into selling pistols to officers or were the pistols they carried private purchased? If private purchased how did they get an government made Erfurt or a DWM with all the military acceptance stamps?
Maybe they just took an issued Luger home and kept it after the War.
