1914 - rework?

Not an expert. The barrel does not have 8,8 something, it's a replaced barrel. The trigger is mismatched. The magazine bottom is not wood. The grip panels are unnumbered.

The real problem -- all these probably can be covered by "German police reworked" umbrella. If "German reworked" being a must, how to tell it's done by German or not needs an expert to tell. I don't know. Reworked pistol's price is supposed to be better than factory one. But this one's $1750.... I saw am-firearms.com is selling a 1918 (looks healthy to me) at $1895 (not related with me, just FYI).

It's actually uncommon to see gun in $1000-$2000 range very professionally redone due to professional's labor cost. But smaller touch up, regional enhancement, brute force matching, etc are possible.
