Welcome to the Lugerforum. Sorry we have nothing but bad news for you. The good news is that the mausers are some of the best Lugers for shooters since the metalurgy improved over the years that Lugers were made. So if you keep it, shoot away and enjoy it.
Because it has been refinished, and the fact that reproduction grips have been numbered to match the gun, that makes the rest of the numbering suspect as well... the Mauser "bump" on the frame ears is also conspicuously absent, leading me to believe that the gun has been assembled from parts from different manufacturers
Best of luck with it and I hope it shoots well, and that any future time you spend here will be at least slightly more pleasant.
