Hi Lynn, If I'm not mistaken, the receiver (not the toggle train) shown in the first photo of post #5, is from an Imperial Luger. Judging from the size of the rear toggle axle, which appears to be the large flanged Naval type, than from either a 1908 model or a 1916/17 dated. Better photos would help.
Regards, Norm |

More photos
Here are more, hopefully better pictures. I have also included one of the inscription. It is tough to get good pictures of shiny things. even the tiny blue light on my webcam shows up.

Hi Lynn, Thanks for the photos, they confirm my suspicion that the receiver is from a 1908 or 1916/17 dated Navy. In addition to the Naval inspection marks on the left receiver, the hole for the rear toggle axle is recessed for the distinctive large flanged Navy axle (see photo). It's too bad it's been messed with, Imperial Navy components are rare.
Regards, Norm |

Markings
That clears up that question. Off to eBay and GB with it... I still would like to know what the markings on the rear of the blued receiver are all about.
