Help with Erfurt pistol

The leather is in bad shape..original belt straps are gone. No cleaning rod. Wish it had the stock!! With the "Germany" on the bbl, indicates imported at some time...Can I assume there is no way of knowing if the imported bbl was put on after it got to the US or was this gun buggered before import? Wonder why someone would want a shorter bbl?

This is a buddy's gun whose grandfather gave it to his father then the father gave it to him. Not much into older guns but wanted to know about it and knew I was a bit more familiar with firearms. Too bad its a mix match...but interesting nonetheless.
