Tom,
Nice Luger. I imagine that even in that late production year that strawed small parts might be possible on a commercial gun, but I can't say for sure that I have seen a previous specimen like this. (My memory isn't what it used to be, but what is?). Most all post-1937 Mausers have all salt blued parts.

I am not convinced that the grips are OEM. Could we please see a clear focus close-up of the inside of the grips? From the initial photos of the grip exterior and the fit in the area of the safety lever they appear that they might be reproduction grips.

I would also have expected to see the number '91' stamped on the inside of the sideplate.
