Don't pour money into changing your new Luger. It has been refinished as well (the WaffenAmt inspection marks are scrubbed off the right front of the receiver).

The Crown/U inspection mark on the left is likely a VoPo rework inspection mark. It's possible that the twenty in a box was applied at that time also (I have not seen that mark before).

You have a very nice shooter, and it should function well...

Is there a "69" stamped inside the trigger plate? If so, the grips and magazine may be the only parts substituted.

It's unusual to find the sear safety block blued. They normally stayed in the white. This makes me wonder if this Luger was dip refinished, which was often done by the Russians and VoPo.

Is there an "X" stamped anywhere - perhaps on the rear axle pin?
