Default Krieghoff American Eagle Luger?

Good Mornin All,
What did I get myself into here?
Ran into this at a Gun Show and had to bring it home.
I have not seen or heard of one of these
The Pistol appears to have been a WW1 Erfurt #'s match minus the Firing Pin and one Grip S/N is 3391 with no Suffix it does have a Hold Open and does not have a Stock Lug and does not appear to have had one.
It has an American Eagle on the Barrel Extension and top of the Barrel is marked H Krieghoff Suhl with 30 Cal on the Left side
Militaru y prrof appear to have been removed and a Crown N is above the S/N. There are also some Small "K"'s stamped on it along with a faint Germany.
Please ref the Pics and appologies the Pistol was still dirty when i took the pics
Front Strap is also Unit Marked 101.R.2.3.

Neat gun. Likely a post WW1 mom and pop shop re-work gun that was to be sent to the US market. Often when you see these types of parts guns, they’re a mix of military parts with a new barrel. How much did you have to pay for it?

As long as you enjoy it! It’s hard to put a price on such a gun. I don’t know about the unit marking, sorry! I think the cursive R like that means reserve.

You might not have known of this "variation" because this configuration never existed IMHO. I think it's the result of putting parts together, along with perhaps a little creative marking. I have a vague recollection that Krieghoff serviced and re-sold guns like this, but unless it fits with that, its origin probably can't be determined.
I don't think you paid too much because its enigmatic nature makes it interesting, even if it turns out to be a Frankenstein/fantasy piece. If it shoots OK, then you should do that with it, and enjoy!
