The receiver (at least) was originally a 1914 Erfurt LP08. The pistol was in government hands in 1920 and had the property stamp applied at that time. It is impossible to say where the pistol spent the next decade-and-a-half, but sometime after 1936 (straight-wing eagles) it was repaired at Depot 20 of the weapons depot at Ingolstadt. It was given a Mauser-made replacement barrel (e/655) and proofed here, and probably given whatever salvage parts were around in order to return it to functional specification.
