IMHO, I am suspicious about the number "31" on the bottom of the upper receiver lug... and also the same number on the rear of the toggle/rear sight. They do no appear to my untrained eye to be of the same font as the rest of the numbers on the gun. I would request very good photos of the serial number areas with any "white" being removed, in good focus and good lighting. Get an opinion from the Navy Luger Cabal (Tom A, Leo11, or Derek Seltzer) before you plunk down your money on this one.
I am not a Navy Luger expert, and try not to play one here on the forum, so my suspicions may be groundless... but I have a lot of experience examining number stamps on Lugers and these just don't sit right with me. The fact that they appear to be the only numbers with "white" in them makes them all the more suspicious to me...
In the now famous words of Tom A. ... the tuition at Luger "University" can be VERY expensive...
Caveat Emptor.
Good Luck.
