Import Marks???

Importer stamp is applicable on surplus guns. Export stamp (such as "Germany") is applicable on commercial guns. That's the way I understand these.

On value side, regular surplus Lugers with importer stamp does not worth much in my opinion. Of course, you can pay a lot for it to prove it actually worth something, but what's the purpose... There are tons of Lugers without importer stamp, not rare at all, then, the one with that stamp has to be much cheaper to be attractive. Especially on high condition samples. On low condition samples, probably does not matter that much -- it's like many fleas on head, all of them bite and are annoying, adding yet another flea won't cause more trouble.
