Joe,

I will be very interested in seeing photos of this pistol, especially the grip strap mark. This mark is actually L.G./Ri. and it is from the Saxon Landesgendarmerie (rural police) battalion headquartered in Riesa. I don't have access to my database at present but this may be the only Luger with this marking I have seen. In any event, it is a rare marking.
