When you get it, check to see if it has the internal Mauser "FBM" proof mark, or a Nitro proof (done for the European / non US market).

... update after photos posted... Looks like it was originally made for the European marked with E/N proofs. That late in the production life of Mauser's Lugers it must have been stock that was diverted to the USA marketplace...

Import Marked?

These are remarkably well made Lugers... Congratulations.
