1918 Mauser Luger info

Yes, I paid a shooter price. Is it possible that the pistol, manufactured in 1920, could have been refurbished by Mauser, which is as you describe the stamping, at a later date when Hitler went to full out rearmament? The serial number, which appears on all small parts- the last 2 digits- are consistent throughput and if it was the 5343rd issue of the f or sixth run, that seems like a lot of Lugers for one year- 1920- of a 100,000 man army. The mystery deepens....as soon as I can I will post photos and make this easier.

I bought it as a shooter because I want to shoot one, and because I do not want to spend a lot of money in a hobby that could really burn me as a newby.
