Not just that, this one is all kinds of mixmaster force matched. I am pretty sure the right side of the upper is an Erfurt stamp, corroborated by the 1918 chamber date and Artillery cut. There are all kinds of mixed stamps on the gun, even in the same parts (like the barrel). Not sure if that side plate renumbering was scratched with a sharp tool or electropenciled on there. I would agree that it is more of an East German rework than a Russian capture gun. Shoot the crap out of it and let us know how it functions! Congrats on picking up your first Luger (they get a little addictive).
