I think an "official rework" as you are calling them were done pre 1945. The Vopo and Russians are a different deal, but still have to be with-in there time frame to be an "official rework" also. Reworked police Lugers or Weimar Lugers have found there place in the collecting field in the last few years. If Thor's gun is a reworked police Luger as done by the Germans pre 1945, then it has collector value and if it is something special, then it should be left alone at least until it is known exactly what it is, as to "touch it up" would greatly decrease its value if it was a "rare" find!
