Sam,

The KI Lugers are really nice ones and I hoep to find one at some time in my life, congratulations on having this pistol.

If the KI Lugers went through a formal rework at some arsenal and they renumbered any of the parts, I would guess that they would have renumbered the axle pin also. In this early time before the war, the Germans were very complete in following rules. I know that during the weimar Era, the rules were broken to hide some of their activity, but I feel that the pin would have been un-numbered, or it would have matched the pistol. In my opinion, it sounds like the pin has been replaced at some point in it's life. It is still a nice pistol!!! Hope this helps a little.
