8,82 is the original marking meaning it was approved and met the land-to-land measurement.

the 2/1001 on one mag and 1/1001 is on the other is the marking done by the East Germans on magazines. Most of these guns were used by police at first, then I beleive border guards... This luger has more history to it than many. Eventually they will be collectable in their own right, but right now, not as collectable as a "un-touched" 1936, 1917, etc.
