Please help Luger Artillery newb: molested barrel (ewe!)?

Welcome to the forum,

I agree that the barrel is an artillery that someone turned down at the rear sight area and that a rear toggle with sight was added in order to create a longer sight base. Turning down the barrel at the rear sight would have also eliminated any markings usually found there, so that you will never know if the barrel is original to the pistol.

The gun has been buffed and refinished as well.

This makes the gun a mismatched shooter worth maybe $800 or so.
