I really appreciate the time all of you put into this question. I had given some thoughts to this question over the years, but nothing to speak off in trying to find out any information. This was good info to know because I was not totally sure of what had transpired during this time except there was a lot of re-work by DWM, Simson, etc. to some existing WWI pistols.

I also enjoy the Weimar era Lugers; they just have this "mystery" about them that canno tbe explained. Many of them saw service in WWI, the Weimar Era, and finally in WWII. Since the influx of Import ed Lugers from Russia have hit our shores, many of these are of this period. I assumed that since most were probably captured from Stalingrad (just my thoughts), that many of the Lugers in use were from the Weimar Republic with a smaller portion of the newly made Mauser pistols.
