Luger with no proof marks

My apologies if there's a sticky or other coverage of this question and I've missed it.

I'm interested in a 1918 DWM military Luger that has no proof or acceptance marks. The rest of the gun seems to be OK; disclosure about condition, markings, numbers, etc. seems to be complete.

The gun is priced in the $2000-$2500 range.

My primary interest is not necessarily to have an absolutely perfect, totally matching Luger; my interest is mostly in having a nice one that will serve as a good companion piece to a 1917-1918 era military Colt 1911 that I own. I like the idea of the pairing. Like the 1911, the Luger will be fired occasionally.

Should I be concerned about the lack of proof marks? Is there anything suspicious about that?
