Sorry to bring up an old post. Especially in the mixed light the Luger was received in. I too am a first time owner with the identical gun. My condition is close with some barrel holster wear and the side plate finish worn also.

The difference I noticed as well as could be seen is that mine has no sanding marks on the flat surfaces and every machined edge is completely sharp.

Like I said I am sorry to bring this up again but the education I got here was really interesting to me.

No mags that match with mine but everything else is correct. Minor pitting as I stated minor holster wear but at least 90% finish on the gun.

You will probably tell me I am dumb but I have fired the gun quite a bit when I got it from the bring back ww11 guy twenty years ago who never fired it since he traded an officer for in in Germany in 1945.

What a fantastic shooting weapon.

My grips fully wrap around and are airtight under the safety lever and have the matching 655 stamp and D stamp and a large V and the matching numbers. And a internal small crack starting on the surface of the inside of the right grip. Wood grain looks different than the op's but wood is wood.

Interesting that I have a somewhat comparable gun to look at reading this thread.

Yellowing paint half missing on the safety levers warning printing.

Just looking at the pics of the two grips side by side, you can clearly see they are not the same. Raised areas are different, as are the lips on the edges of these raised areas. WaA looks sharp wing edges on the op grips. Was the grip manufacture something that had a lot of discrepancies in it, or should they all be mirror images of each other? I also do see that the op Luger lacks the sharp edges like others shown in the post, JMO
