Well the receiver is dated 1917 and seems to have the standard proofs on the right side. So that can't be post WWII. If the replacement barrel bears a PTV/E proof stamp as well as E/33 and E/45 acceptance stamps, or something similar, it would be consistant with other reworked Lugers that were recalled in 1929. We'll see when I get it in hand hopefully this weekend.

Thanks!
