Thanks for the opinions. I'm starting to think it's a Weimar rework rather than a 'put together'. Or, should I say, maybe it was 'put together' by the government out of parts/sub-assemblies not previously used. I have been thinking of refinishing it, but now perhaps I'll leave it alone. Doesn't look too bad. The take-down switch and mag release have been blued, so maybe I'll re-straw them. It has no cuts on it for extra safeties, so maybe it was done for the Reichswehr. These '1920s' are definitely hard to figure sometimes, and certainly have a history as you say.
