1936 S/42 All Matching #s?

[Airzoo Guy]

Hello,

This is my first post here, as I'm new to Lugers. I recently purchased what was advertised as a 1936 Mauser-built (S/42) P08 with all matching serial numbers (excluding the mag). Now, however, I'm suspicious. The side plate has the correct number on it, but the font is different from stampings on the rest of the gun; in particular the numeral "7" is different. On the rest of the gun, the number appears as it does above...the diagonal part of the numeral is straight...but on the side plate the diagonal part of the numeral is curved. The same stamping appears on the take-down lever, which in addition has another (different) number stamped on the bottom where I'm told that guns made for commercial sale were stamped. The gun also appears to have been refinished, as the parts that should be strawed are not. I'll try to attach photos, but my question is...did I buy a gun that has been tampered with? Or is this some odd fluke in production?

Thanks,

John
