If there are grip strap markings on the Luger, it was either originally an Imperial Army regiment or a Weimar Police District. These grip markings have nothing to do with the gun being SS. It would be interesting to know the chamber date/s on this weapon, as well as if it is a DWM or Erfurt.

You mentioned that the belt buckle was round. That statement opens up some interesting possiblities. It all depends what is on that buckle, as to what organization it was issued to. SS officers wore round buckles. If it actually is an SS officer's buckle and in good shape, then that buckle might be worth quite a few $$$.
