Pete,
I have a very nice 1911 DWM, all matching including magazine, which has British proofs. It appears to be a completely honest gun, and I am confident the matching mag was not a phony.
At the time I bought it I made the same inquiry that you posted here. Consensus was that the British proofs lowered the value of the Luger.
Personally, I disagree and am quite happy with this gun. I feel that the British proofs further add to the gun's history and do not diminish it in any way. Just my HO.
Luke
