VONO (an anachronim for a name I can't remember off the top of my head) is a company that reworked older Lugers between the wars for the civilian market so it's common to find them in 7.65mm. Their name - in script as thought written - is often found over the chamber area. Proofs are likely to include commercial proofs; possibly the E/J & E/N stamps. VONO is recognized by collectors and the pistol will have some collector value although not nearly as much as an untouched "as-issued" pistol. That's pretty much what I recall off the top of my head.
