So, the next part of my question is: would you expect to see such a Mauser banner link on a G date luger?

Andrew,

While Mauser did deliver some G-dated pistols to the Police, all were S/42 marked on the toggle as this was the production code for Mauser.

Commercial production during this era was pretty much isolated to the v-block guns which had blank chambers until 1936 and either DWM or Mauser logo on the toggle link.

So the short answer to your question is: No, it is highly unlikely that one would see a g-date on an original gun with the appropriate Mauser logo. However as previously mentioned, the Ku guns exist and there was a flurry of activity in 1943/4 to clean house so there are many examples of military proofed guns with mixed parts produced, commonly called "out of sequence" manufactured.
