Mace, welcome to the forum. From the information you provided, your pistol is definately not matched and it has been reblued. The frame and receiver numbers should be the same and the frame may have a script letter below the numbers. The frame should just have the numbers. The trigger, takedown lever, magazine release button, safety lever and ejector should all be straw or golden colored (or maybe silver if it is a degraded strawed part). I will make a guess that the magazine bottom is aluminum with the 4 digit number stamped into it. The bottom should be wooden. Further the magazine has a blue tube, it should be a nickel plate and if your magazine is stamped 2/1001 it is East German. All this being said you probably have a very nice shooting weapon. If you can provide more information, perhaps we can give you more data.
