I see it is commercial from the C/N, but the 5 digit part? Because it had only a "1" initially stamped?
The breechblock and center toggle are both numbered 031. Granted the configuration is VERY non-standard, but the numbers appear to be original and the only way for them to make sense along with the c/N proof is as the last-three-digit small part numbering of a five-digit serial number gun. The photo of the toggle-tail number is not very clear in this regard, but it appears to to overstamp another number.
