Blkhand,
Welcome to the Luger Forum, we're very glad that you came and weighed in on this topic.
I believe you made a prudent decision about this Luger.
Those of us who have a copy of Sam Costanzo's "World of Lugers--Proof Marks" reference book at hand, have a resource with which to dispute the conclusion of your German correspondent. The eagle referenced on the gun is the standard Mauser test proof stamp used on Lugers 1936-1939.
