hypothetical question

Well, considering the fact that the pistol was made in Germany, which had strict proof laws, any luger pistol that left the factory via the front door had at least a serial number and a series of proof markings.

You sometimes see pistols that were quite expertly reworked to remove all proof and property markings, usually done to conceal the origin of the pistol. It happened in European countries following both WW1 and WW2 when guns got 'lost' and the new owners wouldn't want it to be traceable.
