1921 Weimar Army Luger

I'm still not convinced that it was ever a commerical 5 digit luger. The serial on the barrel and frame appear to be hand stamped as the digits are not properly alined. Also, where are the normal commerical proof marks on the barrel and receiver? These normally would not be removed when appropriated by the military. I've had several c/n proofed commerical lugers, later rebarrelled and numbered in the military fashion, that retained their C/N proofing on the receiver and commerical serialization on the TD lever and side plate.
