Thanks guys!! I will try to take it down and get more pictures of the parts. But I was looking around and came by this when looking into why this gun might have had its barrel replaced. Any idea of this is true?

"1920 Commercial Lugers were mostly World War One 9mm Lugers, rebarreled to 7.65x21 so they could be resold under the Treaty of Versailles' harsh limits on German production of guns in military calibers."

Also does anyone know where I can purchase a toggle axel pin? And I am pretty sure its 7.65x21. I did the pencil test on the luger and a 9mm and the luger is for sure not a 9mm.
