I have no disagreement with the statement that the resale (perceived) value would be less than a pristine Luger which had only DWM markings. That is probably the case. I was simply making a statement about its value to me, personally.
I kind of like the gun with the British proofs; and, since I am not ever going to sell it, that is a more relevant question for my heirs.

You and I exchanged several emails on this subject at the time I bought the gun, over a year ago.

I believe you advised that, since it had no import markings on it, the gun could have belonged to a WW-I vet who left it as part of his estate. It was my understanding that, if such had been the case, your government would have required that the gun be British proofed before it could be sold in England by the vet's heirs.
