I beleive this Luger started life as a 1917 artillery, LP08. The original barrel would have the 'a' suffix. As far as I know, DWM only used receivers with the artillery notch on LP08's.

As you can see, the front of the receiver on artilleries had to be notched to provide clearance for the sight leaf. Regards, Norm

Would a new barrel have serialized to the pistol? The S/N is 43 and it is on all the major parts.
