If original to the gun, there should be a small proof marked stamped on each grip screw. Last, but not least, if original, the magazine bottoms should have two acceptance marks on them and not one. If this luger was put into police service, the magazines could have been replacements with metal bottoms...the picture is too poor to tell.
there is a proof mark on both grip screws, also the bottom of both mag's (wood) have the ser. # which match the gun and yes there is also 2 proof mark's on the first one ( there numbered 1 and 2 ) on the second mag there is a + under the number 2

I'll work on some better pics...its just a point and shoot.
Matt.
