Hi Marc,

Interesting Luger! It appears to have been made up from parts, possibly by a small shop. Note the serial number on the barrel extension is struck over the proof marks. Also, the side plate is from a Erfurt military; one can still see the remains of the its original serial number and the Erfurt inspection mark that were not buffed completely off. The digits in the serial number(s) were stamped individually, without the benefit of a jig, and as a result are poorly spaced and oriented. It doesn't appear to have a stock lug. That may be because the frame never had one, or because it has been removed.

Best regards,

Kyrie
