I agree with you, the type 2 (Mid Nazi Era) Test proof (1936-1939) on the right receiver and barrel strongly indicates that the barrel of this Luger was replaced in the 1936-1939 time span. Another 29 DWM with the same Mid test proof is shown on page 153 Weimar Lugers (sn 4335u). The 1929 DWM Lugers display several different test proofs on the right receiver.

Below are a few additional links to the ever interesting and sometimes complex 29 DWM Lugers.

In this thread, there are three issues:

1. Are all of the blank toggle 29 DWMs leftovers from the canceled contract for Lugers for the Riff tribe in Morocco? This does not apply to your pistol since yours has a DWM logo on the toggle.

2. Did DWM (BKIW) manufacture any 9-mm Lugers after 1921?

3. Is the barrel on alanint's Luger a replacement? Your pistol appears to have its original barrel.

Your familiarity with circumstantial evidence should make you feel right at home in this.
