I suspect that there were many WWI Lugers that also served in WWII as personal weapons. Like Wayne (wayne8661) I also have a 1912 marked to the Bavarian 4th Infantry Division that was captured at Bastogne in WWII but no bring back papers...however it came from a very close friend whose father captured it and I have absolutely no reason to doubt its provenance.
