Hi Rich, Your gun has been assembled from parts from different guns from different eras. It would take clearer photos than you have provided to properly identify these parts. While the top half is from a 42 byf (1942 Mauser) the frame is from a much earlier gun, possibly WW1. It should be marked P08 on the left frame, and it should have the distinctive Mauser bump. So, more photos please. Regards, Norm

Where on left frame should the P08 be, near the take down latch or under the grip. Also, you mentioned the Mauser bump. Is that the bottom front of the frame.
