One last question on this subject: I have just examined about fifteen Lugers of varying dates. Machining marks as per this discussion were present in about 2/3 of the Lugers, and these marks ranged from very prominent to very slight. About five of the Lugers showed no marks, but did not appear to be sandblasted. So what do we conclude? All Lugers without machine marks are suspect? Or were some Lugers more carefully finished than others, depending on the skill of different workmen?
