Hi Doc!

Circa 1986 - 1987 there was a small number of â??commercial qualityâ? East German rework Lugers imported into the US. These pistols had a very high polished salt blue, new grips, and new barrels marked with the East German commercial C/N proof. These pistols were made up of used parts, all carefully renumbered to the frame in the proper military manner and style. For the most parts the chamber dates were removed, but most pistols retained their WWI and II acceptance markings. I suspect, in about a hundred years, Luger collectors will regard these as a rare and highly sought after variation.

Best,

Kyrie
