Marvin, Your assesment is right on the mark. About 25 years ago my best friend, vet obtained a horribly pitted (under the rust re-blue), 1918 DWM police rework. This pistol was about 98% finish and had S/42 replacement grips and a Third Reich proof mark of some type (don't remember exactly what it looked like). At any rate is was a period done job and it amazed me that they (Police Officials) would re-work such a rough pistol, but the Germans did not scrap anything that was usable...even in peacetime. As you have probably picked up over time with my post, I really like these period reconditioned Lugers...It is sort of like owning two Lugers in one.
