As luck would have it, I was leafing through somw back issues of "Gun Report" today, and ran across a mention of these pistols in the May 2002 "Lugers at Random" column.
The gun in question was in the "high 26000" serial range and had a French Fleur-de-lis over the chamber; Kenyon noted that most of the examples he has examined (number not specified) were in the low 5000 range, with no chamber stamp.
Other salient features: short frame, polished-frame safety. Also look for extractor marked "Charge".
Mentioned in the text was a gun pictured in "Luger--the Multinational Pistol" on pp114-115.
