New guy with many questions

The date could well have been ground off the chamber top, it's hard to tell. The two Germany stamps are a give away that this piece was exported from Germany after WW1 probably for the US market. The other changes, such as ground off stock lug could have been done in the US for fear of violating the short barrel rifle law. Hopefully this artillery luger was priced in the shooter category, certainly it's not a collector's piece.
