Dear Dwight, G. van V, and Lugerdoc,

Thanks for all the comments and information. This is really getting interesting.

Answers to questions:

The magazine has an aluminum (?) bottom (not wood), stamped 1605, same as the pistol S/N. On the magazine body just above the base on the left side is stamped 2/1001. The magazine appears almost new. Would pictures be useful?

I will try to make an ultra-close-up of the eagle Dwight mentioned. Is this the marking just above the "61" of the 6105 S/N, or the marking just below?

The swelled portion of the barrel at the muzzle has tooling marks running fore and aft. The rest of the barrel is smoother. The muzzle itself is not polished smooth, but shows circumferential tooling marks. Muzzle interior
is sharp with no signs of cleaning rod wear that I can see.

The markings on the bottom of the barrel are as follows, from the receiver forward:
N, CROWN, RTD, then a series of letters that have been mostly obliterated.
The RTD and the obliterated letters are too faint to photograph. If I knew what to look for, I might be able to see if they are a match for something you would recognize. Lastly, there is 9 MM about 29mm from the muzzle.
All the letters after CROWN are about 1.5mm high.

Question: Does the forward toggle link with the obliterated "Erfurt" appear to be a replacement part? What would be a likely reason for replacing this and the trigger plate if this is a commercial or East German rework?

Thanks again to everyone for the information.
