Those appear to be threaded, but I agree that needs to be verified in person. Unfortunately fakes have moved well beyond threaded holes for some years now. There is much more that has to be examined and even then it can be difficult to tell. The basic problem and these are common to most Geman militaria items from black wound badges to tiger tanks (the first one at least applies) 1. There were many variations of originals 2. There are many variations and generations of fakes. Of course this makes direct comparisons tricky and also usually means that there is not a single characteristic of every original or every fake that you can hang your hat on.

I’ve pretty much given up on BW Lugers, and Lugers in general. Way too many counterfeits out there, and a lot of them are pretty good fakes. Way too expensive now too!
Unless I have a second pair of eyes on a Luger, I’m not moving on it. I have a ‘37 Luger that I feel very confident about. So, at least I have one anyway with a matching mag.
Sorry, I know that’s no help to your question on this other than to add my disgust with our collecting field of Lugers.
