Rich,
An import stamp has the name, logo, or the initials, and often the location/city and state of the importer. The GERMANY stamps are always export stamps, which shows the country of origin.

Mine shows halo's on the barrel is that a normal spot for halo's??. Looks like the one in the beginning of this thread. What your saying is if the barrel had no halo's that would be a reblue???? The frame seems to not have halo's or the side marks. Pic's in first thread / My First Luger 30 Cal on this same page of post's. Do not know how to link.
