ID help on artillery Luger with really long barrel

Looks to be a post-WW1 creation with a 16 inch barrel, possibly from Stoeger but really no way to be certain. Stoeger offered barrels and barreled receivers in many lengths. The "GERMANY" stamp and C/N proof indicates that the receiver, at least, was made for export to the States. The rear toggle looks to me to have originally had a rear sight that has been removed but I could be wrong about that. The rear toggle link also looks to be an Erfurt part.

What caliber is it?

Bottom line: it's a parts Luger put together at some point after WW1. It's an interesting pistol and I'd own it if given the chance... and the price was right.
