Unusual Luger

Thanks for the replies. I couldn't determine any unusual marks, all of the numbers seemed to be correct, as did the proofs which where Crown/N. If the gun had been military marked, someone did a good job of removing the proofs. It seems that it had the British proof B.N.P. on the top or right side of the receiver. It also had the British proof on the underside of the barrel back near the receiver, the B.N.P. plus info on the tons and so forth of powder charge/muzzle energy, I'm not sure what all the info signified. I believe it has to do with the proof load.
I went back the next day to get a better look with a light, but the gun had already been sold. A friend of mine had seen the gun also and he thought it looked like it had been reworked and was probably somewhat questionable.
I appreciate everyone's insights, barr
