Tom, It's impossible to tell for sure without physically inspecting your luger, but here are a few facts to consider: An unproofed 9mm barrel on a commerical luger was probably in violation of the Versailles Treaty, and without some police or military acceptance markings is unlikely to be FACTORY original. It's quite possible that either Stoeger or Pacific Arms Corp. may have added the 9mm barrel on arrival here in the USA, or it may have been added last week. I alway question lugers with perfect finish including the straw on a 90+ year old luger. THis just doesn't happen. Tom H.
