Walt,

It sounds like you have made a good decision on the Luger.

For the record, the circle-S is a subject of some controversy. Experienced and respected collectors assert that this mark is indicative of Simson rework; others, equally respectable and experienced, note that there is no documentary evidence for this interpretation and that its meaning must ultimately be considered unknown.
