Odd 1938 Mauser Luger?

This Mauser appears to have originated as a military pistol, but reworked (factory?) for some reason, commercialized with E/N proofs and rebarrelled to 30 luger. Must have been some special order item...and in the midst of wartime!

Oh, boy! It sure is a special order item!!!

The seller sent me a pic of the top view...Nice big one; the toggle stamping is especially interesting...

Yep, you just don't see old world workmanship like that anymore!!!

I wonder if *all* the numbered pieces are CNC cut???

Now I'm really in a quandary...Raise my ceiling, or lower it??? It's really beautiful work, of its kind...

Too bad he didn't cut a skull & bones in the chamber...
