The pin is from a Nazi reworked 1918 Luger. The serial num matches and is same font as the other reworked parts (grips and toggle axle). I too have never seen one so rough.
The rest of the gun looks fine as far as mechanical condition.
GT - thanks for the offer - I just found a repro firing pin in my box of stuff, so OK for now to shoot it.
Interesting point about it being repair job - because the front part looks just fine and original, but the back part is messed up. There is nothing I can see that would cause such rough wear to the pin. The pin was cold blued so that is why it looks so clean after I took the blue off. Someone may have blued it to cover the repair.
