Definitely mismatched. The markings on the grip strap (frame) are those of the Weimar-era Schutzpolizei of Frankfurt am Main in the Wiesbaden administrative district. The original marking S.W.I.1.132.R. is in accordance with the 1922 marking instructions and was stamped sometime before 1932, probably in the 1920s. The second marking is S.W.I.324. and is in accordance with revised instructions issued in 1932.
