Thanks Eric, I was thinking, damn, thats a lot of ground to cover.

Read through various posts and threads here, perhaps buy a book or two. "Technically" any luger made before 1945 could be correct.

Why I say that...

1. Many WW1 lugers served in WW2
2. Many Commericial guns were bought by officers and the police (and sometimes military) and used in WW2
3. Many Weimar lugers served in WW2
4. Many Americans heard the call of the fatherland and returned, some brining their lugers.

But, I'd say that "most correct" would be a 1935-194x luger made by Mauser
