I believe that all the Lugers in the US marked "made in Czechoslovakia" or something like that were 1980's imports which came from communist East Germany. It was illeagle to import military surplus arms and the East Germans got around the ban by exporting their surplus to a second country from which it was legally exported to the US market.
