Yo Tac! You forgot that the USA also gave the world the Hulla Hoop and Pet Rocks. History will never be the same. The above pictures of what could be the tail end of "Germany" are out of focus. It could be something else. Yes, British proof marks and other import marks (with the exception of the word "GERMANY" which was rarely put on the underside of the barrel) do reduce the collectibility value of a Luger as does restoration work. Collectors are the people who pay the big dollars for originality. Just any slapped together or altered Luger has never demanded the big money. Although, I must admit that there are a number of small time and unscrupulous dealers who think otherwise.
