Even though I'm not into artillery Lugers myself, I have this to offer:

The artillery Luger is a WW-I thing. So, mistrust anything that is:

A) made by someone else other than DWM or Erfurt arsenal.

B) "double dated". According to Versailles treaty, Germany could no longer produce, or possess handguns with barrels longer than 10cm. The 1920 mark is a Weimar possession stamp, hou do your own math.
