So you're saying that there were barrel replacements being done during the 20's before the big 1929 recall? Who would have done these conversions? Were they done by local armories or would they have been sent back to Berlin?

Yes it's great that majority of this pistol is all from the same gun. Not just a bunch of parts thrown together. It would be interesting to know how and why this Luger ended up with the mismatched barrel/receiver. But I guess it shall remain a mystery.

Thanks for adding it to your database and making it a part of history!!
Now I'm looking forward to getting her in hand after a 25 day waiting period! I do plan to put a few rounds through her every so often but most of the time she will be resting as part of my Indiana Jones collection!
Thanks again for all your help and insight.
