Probably the best and most complete reference for all markings found on lugers and it's magazines is Costanzo's "World of Lugers -- Proof marks" published in 1977. I have an spare copy available @$250 + $20 S&H in USA. There are several other books that specialize in military and police unit markings, but none as complete or as easy to use for factory or National markings. Probably the best source for postwar and Soviet block markings is Buxton's "The P38 Pistols --- Volume 3" which shows the markings on P38s, but same were used on many DDR, Russian, CZ, etc reworked PO8s.
