The firing pin of a Luger pistol is round, not square.

That is correct. Glocks make a square impression on ammunition primers..

There is a mucy more reliable identifying mark. fired cartridge cases from 9mm Lugers manufactured 1903-early 1941 have an indented "ring" around the case, about 2/3 of the way up. This is a characteristic from the original design of the 9mm chamber.
