Welcome to the forum, Xtian,

I think it could have been assembled in somebody's garage, probably anytime after WWII. To the best of my Knowledge, reworks by any governmental/military program or process do not end up like this. It's apparently a parts gun. The frame, at the very least, has been re-blued over pits and other damage, including its interior--which would have been in the white if properly rust blued. I think someone may have gotten lucky going through one of those famous barrels of parts and fished out some matching numbers. There's most of an "X" on the trigger guard..? We hope you paid shooter grade price for it! Unless the bore is complete toast, it should make a great shooter.
