New member- Questions about parts originality

The dealer advertised it as a Russian capture, although he didn't seem to be an expert, so I was initially suspicious. He showed me the star on the frame, and I remembered that this gun didnt have any of the other characteristics of a captured gun (the "X"s, electropenciled numbers, etc.). This is what led me to asking this dealer who specializes in lugers about the star, and he answered that it's an indication of a russian capture, so I just took him for his word. In addition, the finish seemed to have a good finish, so I thought that perhaps it was from the refinished salt blue.

Thanks, wlyon, is there any particular reason it wouldn't be a russian captured luger?
