I stopped back to the shop where I bought the pistol to examine it more closely. All numbers match, including the mags. I couldn't verify the grips as I wasn't prepared at that time to remove and examine them. I did, however, observe that the that though the trigger, safety lever, etc. are straw colored, the extractor and locking bolt are blued. Careful examination of the surface over the breech (where the date is) and the crown & Erfurt marking on the bolt reveals smoothed surfaces where a relatively sharp transition should be, perhape due to generous use of the buffing wheel. Further, the "yellow" is completely gone from the safety marking "GESICHERT".

Therefore this is a shooter. I'll add detailed photos after I pick up the gun.

I still need load info.
