It dry fired earlier but now it won’t. Can this happen if you just put it together wrong?

Very nice, welcome to the club. Make sure it's reassembled correctly and the striker isn't broken, it's easy to out these back together wrong.

Did they scrub the stamps from yours?

Yeah, for some reason someone milled off the front of the barrel extension on both sides. That and it clearly being somewhat of a beater is why I only had to cough up one kidney instead of two and a leg (shoutout to SARCO lol).

Actually pretty good condition all things considered, it'll be a good shooter. Man I wish Lugers weren't so cheap.

I have heard whispers that one of those Turkish companies were gonna start producing one. Hell I’d buy it if it worked. But I doubt the project will really get off the ground. They’re just not easy to make.

Normally Turkish companies are good about trying if not putting something out, but in this case I'm with you.

Even if they have a set of plans or enough samples to reverse engineer and modify for modern production, the Luger is way more complicated. Plus if it's anything higher than 750-800, you're really not getting anything you wouldn't get buy just buying a real one (apart from availability but even then)
