Thanks for the info. On the frame underneath the left grip panel and just to the rear of the grip screw in the area that contains the mainspring, there is a small tab with a slot and hole and another small hole. It appears that this feature serves no function on this pistol. Could they be remnants of the grip safety? This feature does not appear on a S/42 Luger that I have.
The markings on the barrel extension on the right side are a small crown with the letters RC under it indicating arsenal repair,rework or modification. Directly below that is another small crown with something else under it that I can't decipher enough to describe it properly or match up with proofs shown elsewhere in this website. To the front are 2 small crowns. There is also a eagle barrel proof and there are marks on the sideplate and on the takedown lever which are maybe similar to the markings shown elsewhere in this website but nothing that I can match up definitely. It seems that this piece is a made up piece by an arsenal but for who? Post WWI German Military? German police? Commercial or export? Thanks again for your help.
