[John Sabato]

John, The "import mark" if it has one is a stamp required to be put on guns brought into this country for resale to identify the importer. It can be very small or very obvious and ugly.

It is often placed in regions that doesn't show much when the pistol is assembled. Like the bottom of the barrel or under the grips.

You may have to use a magnifying glass and a good light source, and then again it might not have any at all.

The gun looks like a great shooter and the price range mentioned seems fair. If you want to sell it, you can list it and the price you want in the FOR SALE forum at no charge... and you will likely sell it, or you can try the auction sites like auctionarms.com, gunbroker.com or gunsamerica.com to see what you can get for it, but there you will pay a fee.

then again, as a refugee of the East German part of world history, it has a story all it's own and would be a nice gun to pass on to YOUR heirs...

20 years from now, even Parts gun Lugers will be worth a premium. There is a finite supply and unlimited demand.

best of luck to you, whatever you decide.

Best of luck to you...
