This seems like the run of the mill RC Luger, except for this...
There are no import marks, and it was acquired directly from the veteran with this 1963 dated paperwork. The Berlin wall was erected in 1961, with East German separation fencing going up at about the same time. At that point, neither the Russians nor the East Germans were making Lugers from WW-II surplus.
This would, therefore, appear to be a Russian Capture Luger that was re-captured by an American soldier sometime prior to June, 21, 1963. I believe that this is unique with this accompanying paperwork. Discussion?
