WWI luger to WWII?

First question: yes.
Second question: doubtful. The DDR was provided with guns by the Russians. Of course there is the off chance that a pistol migrated from one owner to another during the denazification process of the police and armed forces, but it would be a very slim chance indeed.

Apart from that, a treaty between the allies (US, UK, France, Russia) required the clear marking of guns issued to German officials as 'being issued by the allies'. Sadly the treaty does not disclose what this marking should look like..
