Your Luger is probably the product of some GI "Trench Art" enhancement. The only weapons issued by the NSDAP to party officials, and a HJ Leader would *definately* be a party official, were Walther PP and PPK, "Der Ehren waffen der NSDAP"(The honor weapon of the NSDAP). This has been extensively researched and documented in the NAPCA publication, AUTOMAG.

There are numerous period photographs of Party officials wearing these as side arms and many pieces extant with have been engraved or etched with Party organizational logos/insignias. Additionally, there are copies of Party documents which have survived that prescribe the pistols, manner and occasion for wearing, etc, etc.

If you decide you wish to swim in this pond, CAVEAT EMPTOR: This field is full of very well done fakes, so if you do not know Z'ackly what you are doing, get competent advice from someone who knows this highly specialized field.
