Military weapons were required to be proofed only if they were to be sold commercially. The Lend-Lease weapons sent to England by the US were not proofed until they were released for commercial sale starting in the 1950's. The Luger could possibly have been a private purchase by a British soldier, but have no idea of regulations concerning soldiers and their privately owned weapons.
