I am wondering whether it might be possible to detect altered chambers in this manner.

I get the impression that German Luger manufacturing tolerances were quite rigid within certain parameters.

It ought to be possible to measure the chamber surface and compare it to known authentic examples, to detect whether it has had some of the surface removed.

In other words, with some experience, it might be possible to identify boosted Lugers in this manner.

Just a thought.
