[Identify] Need some help with "Franken"Luger

[Lugerdoc]

Judging from the markings on the right chamber area, this pistol was never completed by DWM during WW1, rather the parts were assembled later (after 1939) by a licensed German gunsmith, showing an overabundance of his test firing proofs. The circular marking, with the cross swords, is a British proof house markings, that was required to sell foreign made pistols in GB. TH

Thanks for making sense of some of that overlayed stuff. Like "overabundance of his test firing"!! My grandfather left France from Dunkirk and was an Instructor Pilot in the UK for a short time and then sent to Canada to teach there. Maybe he picked it up in the UK?
