All kinds of Lugers found their way to Great Britain after WWI, and these invariably received the British proofs. If these Lugers are in decent condition, the British markings usually restrict them to just shooter status and their collectible interest is greatly reduced, unless a rare pistol is encountered with these markings. I have never seen a WWII era Luger with these proofs, so I must assume this importation must have been discontinued after the early post WWI years.
