Sorry to bring up an old post. Especially in the mixed light the Luger was received in. I too am a first time owner with the identical gun. My condition is close with some barrel holster wear and the side plate finish worn also.
The difference I noticed as well as could be seen is that mine has no sanding marks on the flat surfaces and every machined edge is completely sharp.
Like I said I am sorry to bring this up again but the education I got here was really interesting to me.
No mags that match with mine but everything else is correct. Minor pitting as I stated minor holster wear but at least 90% finish on the gun.
You will probably tell me I am dumb but I have fired the gun quite a bit when I got it from the bring back ww11 guy twenty years ago who never fired it since he traded an officer for in in Germany in 1945.
What a fantastic shooting weapon.
My grips fully wrap around and are airtight under the safety lever and have the matching 655 stamp and D stamp and a large V and the matching numbers. And a internal small crack starting on the surface of the inside of the right grip. Wood grain looks different than the op's but wood is wood.
Interesting that I have a somewhat comparable gun to look at reading this thread.
Yellowing paint half missing on the safety levers warning printing.
