An original 1906 Russian will not have the shield proof mark on the barrel. Be very careful in purchasing a 1906 Russian Luger, particularly one that has been refinished, since these guns are quite expensive and therefore subject to being faked. I will send you a private message with a couple of things you could check to further verify the authenticity.
