The firing pin hole in the breechblock "appears" to be oversize... at least to me.

I think I would find some hole gauges or decimal sized drill bits and find out what size the hole is and compare it to the Luger blueprints or other some other Lugers. Could be someone may have unintentionally damaged the breechface in an attempt to clean up burrs on the firing pin hole...

If it turns out to be critically oversize, it could be repaired by microwelding and re-drilling the firing pin hole to specifications.
