I imagine it was what remained after the police cut up the frame and breechblock as the ATF parts of the pistol. Confiscated, but owner allowed to keep non-ATF parts? I think this is how many 'parts kits' end up on the market. Sometimes the cut frame or crunched receiver is included, even with machine guns that are demilled.
The only other item missing is a magazine, but I presume a standard Luger mag would fit. Otherwise, Mitchell mags do show up for sale or maybe a standard one can be modified. Just another pistol project of mine.
