Simson rework on GB.com

The rear frame ears are "humped" so it is a late Mauser frame. The Eagle/N proofs, if real, and the low serial number leads to it being a depot level parts gun with replaced frame put together late in WWII. Who is DDR?

WW1 era erfurt sideplate, WW1 1914 dated upper, eagle 63 on front of gripstrap (why?), makes me wonder about any sort of depot rebuild - why would ww1 parts be laying around - ANYTHING is possible, and if someone wants to go down the route of put-together at an depot or repair facility, that is possible, but then would it have been 'proofed"?
