Yes, that is typical of a '70s mauser that gets shot.
Next the grips will crack from the hole, you can "fix" them by making the hole larger, filling with epoxy and re-drilling the hole. Or better yet, use release agent on the frame and pin and put the grips in place and tighten them down.
These '70s Mauser lugers are not the epitome of luger development, though some think they are "the best". JMHO
