Andy,

I have 2 SS Lugers here on my desk. It is my opinion that the SS VT & TV Lugers were reworked in the SS Weapons' Work Camp. When necessary barrels were replaced, feed springs in the clips and the sear. The guns were proofed and in most cases I do not think that they were even blued. It is quite common to have a Death Head Luger with mismatched parts. Condemed Lugers were probably parted out. I have seen several lugers where hardly any parts matched.

Then I have seen SS Lugers that were late war issue "not junked WW1 guns" that were in excellent + condition. These guns are extremely rare and have a premium value.
