Luke,

It is my opinion that the barrel and frame S/N were not put on at the same time (could be wrong as I was not there) and the stamps used were continually being replaced from wear. This replacement counts for some of the variations in numbers. I agree with you that the common Luger from Mauser would not be worth he time to renumber

You have hit one thing about the "flat top" and "round top" threes (3). There was a big discussion of this in the NAPCA Newsletter several years ago and the combination of "threes" is original.

The pistol sure looks nice form the photos of the stamps!
