1918 Luger #5974

Welcome to the forum. This is possible, but not likely for a gun used in WW2; perhaps a WW1 gun that was turned in after the war?

A german officer or NCO would not have had a luger with an inlet, it is just not found.

Now, I have seen many US GI's that had plexiglass grips with the GI's girlfriend, loved ones under the grip, and I bet you a doughnut that if it was "ripped" out, it showed a picture that was more than risque and that is why it is gone.

I do not beleive that they had "customs" like we do now, if anything, it would have been military checkpoint, rather than "customs".
