I believe that the "numbers" above the stock lug and on the trigger guard are unusually placed Weimar era unit markings. The "RC" on your luger does not indicate a post production rework, just that some under-spefication parts were used in it's production. The notched receiver is a left over one from the 1914 run of Erfurt LPO8 and ofter seen on late WW1 (1916-18) PO8 Erfurts. The dwe/63 mag is a pre 1937 Mauser military. If all parts other than the mag are matching, probably a $1,000 luger at retail. TH
