Eric, your Luger came into the country long before the current import regulations were active.
A firearm owner can remove the import markings, but not any added serial number. This can become an issue if the import process assigned a different serial number to the gun than it was originally manufactured with, since removing or altering the serial number would be an ATF issue.
A PDF of the ATF Letter is attached.
Here are the ATF import marking guidelines:
