Hi,
After seeing the close-ups of the pistol and the magazines, I have to conclude there is something about the serial numbers and the proofs that is somewhat confusing.
Both magazines have numberings from different facilities, as do parts of the pistol. The dies used for the receiver/barrel differ from those on the frame and the side plate. Some other parts show die differences also.
Furthermore, the dies used on mag 1 differ from those on mag 2.
It appears that a commercially numbered pistol was changed to military style numbering.
The dies on mag 2 and the receiver main number are consistant with Simson use. The other dies are consistant with DWM/Mauser use.
A Simson rework?
