"Mystery" commercial luger

Joe, we apparently have an early 9mm commercial luger made in the first part of the 1930's, using a Mauser frame (Mauser fonts) matched with a left over DWM side plate and barrel. This is an unusual piece and was perhaps made earlier than one proofed with C/C/U. Also, this piece was most likely made in 9mm as a violation of the WW1 treaty. Note the DWM commercial C/N proofs, but a Mauser frame (see above) that may have been drawn from a G date frame.
