Hi Dwight,

To make things more difficult, the East-Germans simply continued to use the methods (and dies) used by the German empire, Weimar republic and early Nazi empire. So it's very difficult to distinguish between pre-1939 German dies and early postwar East-German dies, simply because they were the same.

I agree that these Lugers have a certain fascination.

oh, a photo of the barrel muzzle crown would help. If the crown is somewhat roughly finished, it's a good hint towards a Postwar East-German rework.
