Hi. Sorry that I used the wrong section. The luger in question has a barrel with the serial number that is identical to the rest of the serial numbers on each of the parts of the gun. However on the frame the is the word "Germany" and on the barrel there is also the "made in Germany."
I haven't noticed any other proof marks on the barrel. Additionally on the strap there is stamped "48 MGR and 13.
Is it possible that the barrel is original or otherwise put on in Germany. Otherwise how could I account for the serial number. Would a U.S. recipient have restamped the exact serial number. Moreover why would the German Factory involved in a rework find it necessary to stamp the barrel with the identical number. I wouldn't think it would have made a difference then as the gun clearly wasn't being sold as a collectors gun.
