My question is about why the back half of the bottom portion of the trigger has been hacked off. File/grinding marks are visible on its side, as well. There's certainly more missing that a bit of bluing...

I'm wondering if this was done by someone unfamiliar with Lugers--instead of adjusting the side plate lever--to give the trigger more travel.

You read my mind. The piece looks ground down.

They are ground during fitting; so nothing wrong with what you see; other than most will have a bit of a bevel to help in the "reset".

Yes, do more homework and look at more pictures and threads here.
