Is this a naval issued Luger?

I'm not an expert on Navy Lugers BUT to me it looks like a genuine Kriegsmarine Variation, made by MAUSER between April 1939 and 1942, rear frame hump, with its N property number on the back strap, and what convinced me was the serial number included between 200r / 8250z.
Congratulations for the acquisition I would say!

looks as tho the mauser sn's on the mags do not match but the navy unit marks do matched.

Hi Ben, Take a closer look. The first mag pictured is non-matching, but the second is a true double match, both it's serial number and it's Naval property number match those of the gun.

I have seen the term "rear hump". Can you expand on exactly what you are referring to please?
