New Luger Owner Possibly a "SNEAK"...

A trigger pull as light as you describe is not normal, and likely not really safe.
Contact surfaces may be worn, or someone may have given it a "trigger job". Either way it needs attention.

The markings on the frame are workers marks.

Your pin is there, as long as it holds the toggle pin in it is ok.

I have one Luger that did indeed have a very light trigger pull. It was so light that it would "double"/bumpfire. This made me more than a bit uncomfortable, to say the least. It appeared that "Bubba" had shortened the trigger return spring to give it a "trigger job".

I put in a new, correct trigger return spring and the problem was solved. None of my Lugers have light/match trigger pulls......actually, quite the opposite.
