I'm in the Pacific NW also, but near Spokane.
I think the newer looking a luger is, then it is darker, age and handling make them less dark.
So, although a Black Widow can "LOOK" darker than one with wood grips, they are not any different, were not made for any specific groups like the SS or any other silly nonsense. Did they get issued to those folks, sure.
