New info, I hope someone can help on this! The gun is all matching, the firing pin is WWI not fluted. The sear safety sideplate cut out is done at a police depot level of workmanship. Ok but not great, not crude either. The sear is relieved and renumbered to match, same level of workmanship. The inside of the barrel extension frame shows some heat marks, presumedly to soften it there before drilling the pin hole. This is visible inside on the white metal, just barely visible outside on the blue. The magazine is WWI tube with a new wood bottom renumbered to match the gun, large numbers, and 2 for it being the second mag. Otherwise it is a near mint and original WWI 1915 Luger! How and when did this Luger come to be a Police gun?
