Hey,

Just something to keep in mind about all Lugers. If they were part of the German armed forces in the period 1934-1945, they were part of the Nazi regime. Like it or not, lack of Nazi markings DOES NOT MEAN that the weapon was not issued to SS camp guards or other "unsavory" units. I have seen an Imperial Luger taken from a SS guard at one of the camps. On the other hand, most Nazi marked Lugers were issued to combat units that only shot armed Russian, English, or Americans. Moreover, the EG reworks were part of a repressive regime that many would regard as only marginally less evil than the Nazis. Additionally, these were weapons issued out to police that were responsible for lots of people disappearing in the aftermath of WWII.
