Vernon, many lugers were used from WW1 to WW2; but there were also Krieghoffs and Mausers that had commericial markings and were used in WW2 by army, navy, police and air force.

If you can find it, buy Third Recih Lugers by Jan Still. Since its expensive read on this forum and you should be able to figure out that any nazi era lugers accepted into army service would be marked as you want.

so, to make it short, if made for army service; then it would be accepted with the dirty bird. However, many lugers served through WW2...
