Post-war Mauser Parabellum. Looks like a reject that was rescued from the scrap heap after something went wrong during the 59th machining step (give or take).
Nice  Here is one with only 3 steps done: |

I couldn't quite figure out the thin cut in the inside rail area of Roadkill's pic...It doesn't really make any sense... Neither of these look like how the 'original' Lugers were machined...and that's only my guess from looking at the tool marks on mine...

They are Mauser's interpretation of the Swiss 06/29 machine steps. Mauser adapted the steps to their own machines. The cut along the receiver rail is the one that went wrong. According to the specifications the top of the frame should have gotten milled out. After that the magazine opening would have been drilled through.
