This appears to be a very early 1900 model
The barrel is a 7.65mm (120mm ??) - is it unmarked ?
The serial number is 13x2 (no suffix).
What makes you think it's a mismatched luger ?
I think it is a 1900 Commercial.
Does it have commercial stamps (B, U, or G)?
It is called "unrelieved" luger because the magazine channel was not cut deep
in the earliest lugers. The early magazines had a very flat loading button.
Only the very early magazines will fit in it.
It seems right to me:
It's a long frame.
It has the safety in the up position to fire and no hold-open.
There is no lanyard loop and it has the wide trigger.
It has the checkered safety lever.
I think the Swiss model would have a wider grip safety (not sure).
The small parts are strawed, too.
Please provide more photos of the chamber, top, right receiver area, rear toggle and the barrel.
The inscription on the left ear is unusual - someone used an electro pencil to inscribe it with the word "Gesichert" (for secured or safe position).
