Trust your instincts: Bad gun

Dear Tom A. If the proofs were proper and not E/N's, were there any other obvious clues that this piece was bogus? On page 108 of Still's Third Reich Lugers, the serial number 1849i doesn't fit into the expected sequence of known examples with the property mark N2894. Is that another glaring clue or are there exceptions to the sequencing noted with confirmed original WW2 Navies?
