If it is not normal - than barrel is replacement. If the barrel was replaced than other parts as well do not match on this one.
Joe,
After 1914 all Erfurt Lugers were manufactured with the notch on the receiver regardless of barrel length. Even though Erfurt only produced the LP08 in 1914, once they set up the production line to cut the notch they never went back to a standard receiver.
