Unfortunately, every 10,000 pistols, the 4 digit numbers were repeated. The numbers went from 1 to 10,000.
There were various periods when the entire numbering sequences repeated depending upon whether the Luger was a commercial or a military firearm. Since the receiver (dated in 1939) and the frame and the barrel are all from different guns, in different eras, I'm not sure of a good way to date the frame except to look inside and try and find similarities to the manufacturing work marks with those of another period pistol.
