There are many stories of end of war/post war GIs visiting the German gun factories and helping themselves to anything that was lying around. This may be the source of this frame.

Yes, it seems to be finished and ready to assemble. I assume that these guns were fitted and numbered before they were blued, so what throws me off is that it's blued and doesn't have a serial number. It could be reblued, but it doesn't show any dings, dents or anything else that would indicate that it has been used.

One funny thing is that I tried a set of grips on it, and they wouldn't fit very well. It's like the grip frame is a tad too short. I guess that some hand fitting would be normal, but none of the two sets I tried would fit. One set is old and worn and has a sloppy fit on my other Lugers, but on this frame I couldn't even press them on.
