to see what others say - but your's started life (well the frame, anyway) as a military, then through the factory, as a P-code commercial (mid series). My guess is that the frame was complete, hence the internals (take down, etc) matching...

At the end of the war - the Luger was "finished" from spares - including the barrel (which could be a number of manufactures), the toggle - and the chamber mark was added..

The finish on these are sporadic- some are excellent while others are less the poor....

In any case - I'd have Ralph Shattuck ask Randall Gibson about it - he may be aware of "one offs" that were chamber marked as yours is...

Thanks for sharing this info - it's a thrill for all of us- Bob!!
