Even WW1 lugers were used during the Nazi era if that is your collecting window.

If the pistol has military acceptance stamps from the German army, you're ok. Simple as that.

The red dot at the safety lever is often seen on reworked East-German pistols, but these usually have the plastic VoPo grips with a bulls-eye logo in them. If the magazine is numbered to the gun and it is 2/1001 marked, then expect it to be a VoPo version.
