I personally don't mind the Brit proof marks and as a collector, am very interested in the Lend Lease Program, during WW2. There is a very wide spectrum in the collection of Lugers in particular. For example I really like Capture Papers, and think that they add modest value to a weapon while other collectors can take them or leave them. I collect more for the history of the gun, and a capture paper gives me a glimpse into where the gun has been as do the Lend Lease proofmarks. I think you have a heck of a pistol here.

Till Next Time,

Tim
