Help in identification

This is my theory;
I think this pistol started as a M1906 made at DWM (pre 1918), at some point it "lost" it's receiver. The 1916 marked receiver where added and frame force matched to the receiver.
The only non-matching part could be the receiver, then again.. it's a pretty significant part of a the gun.

I don't think a M1906 would be fittet with a non-matching 1918 receiver by the swiss.

The pistols sounds like a fantastic shooter, it's a very nice caliber to shoot with. If you add a commercial receiver for it.. and it would look like a 1920 swiss rework from a hands distance, but just don't think about selling it as such.
