G Date with DWM toggle - need help

Sorry but your holster is an Imperial holster: the year 1941 a the Nazi eagle are added later.
The tool is a fake and made in our days.
The number on the frame may be ok but it is not the correct a G- date frame that is made in 1935. The kind of number should be the same as on the barrel. Your Luger is a parts gun.
Regards from Germany.

Clearly someone wanted to increase the rarity and value while they created a matching Luger, yet it was sold at shooter prices to you. With all that effort there was apparently no financial payback. Interesting, to say the least.

mrerick...yes, I've been meaning to comment on this point, but keep forgetting. I think there is a good explanation...
I talked directly to the guy I bought it from to negotiate the sale. He was fairly candid about losing a "bunch" on it. Apparently he paid much more and only later found out some of what we now know. He was pretty square in his representation of it to me, therefore the "reasonable" price to me....although, I think he missed a few things, which are now coming out of the woodwork...thanks to you guys.
Yes, this has been a great learning experience...with minimal financial damage. Steve

Klaus...I didn't recognize it, but you are correct. I just heard from Jerry B. and he said the same thing about the holster. Well, that fits with the story of the pistol and the tool...one giant scam! I appreciate your several comments...Steve
