Went to a local auction today to try to buy the only Luger that was there. Got there are found a beautiful 1913 DWM in a commercial P-35 holster. The odd thing was on the left side where the proofs were large block letters "GERMAN" on the barrel were Spanish nitro proofs and on the upper receiver "Not Spanish"! My heart sank and the gun went for $650. The finish was nice, but where the numbers were stamped it was blued, so an obvious refinish. Don't think I should have gone higher??
