Chris,
Cool luger! The matte/shiney finish on the receiver near the date I have seen before on early salt blued 1937s. Looks like Mauser was using up the remaining rust blue parts as they were changing to all blue guns. Check out the post by "blcman" (post #205) on Jan Stills forum in the 1937 data base.
He has #1164t and states the "frame has a odd dull finish". Maybe his is similar to yours.

Thanks, tom

One more question that I should of asked earlier, did Mauser rust blue the inside of the receiver and frame? My Erfurt has the interior of the receiver and frame still in the white.
