While this won't answer your question as to when, my example of a Nazi era reworked Imperial Navy Luger frame is yet another example of how Lugers were made serviceable. In my case, the company that reworked it is clearly marked as "Frankenschloss, Suhl". The frame is from an Imperial Navy Luger while the barrel is a replacement in .30 caliber. The receiver may be original but if it is, it's been scrubbed. At least part of the toggle train - perhaps all of it - isn't original to the rest of the gun. Franken und Lunenschloss were well known and reworked many Lugers. Yours is also a rework but by whom is unlikely to ever be known.
