Don,
Could be a righteous Mauser made Luger for 1939 with no DDR connection.
OTOH, I see some things, which you do not, that do suggest a possible DDR connection.
Ultimately we're both just speculating based on our knowledge and predilection.
That said, I tend to agree this is a "shooter grade" Luger and that the Mauser banner on this pistol would not tempt me to pay more for it that any other cosmetically ugly shooter Luger. No doubt there are others who feel differently.
