there are lots of examples of WW1 made and used lugers (and other items) that are germany stamped - however, the germany marking although used prior to the war, is almost assuredly post war, as lots of guns were fixed by DWM and other shops for export and cash during their depression, which started just after the war - however, Erfurt was forced to quit making or refurbishing after the war by the allied commission and they did not make ANY commercial arms during the war.
