Aldo, If you google search dozens of examples appear

An original. I have a couple of better examples but I already had this photo. It normally would be a straight-sided rectangle with rounded corners, but the heavily struck "15" distorted it.

The font style is what I'd expect to see on a Mauser Luger. There is something weird going on with how the front of the barrel extension is proud of the frame: https://forum.lugerforum.com/attachm...1&d=1728680584 Frankenluger?

David,

Good observation about the receiver being proud of the frame.

There is also a cut in the receiver, just behind the barrel, visible on both sides, that would correspond with the correct length of the receiver. I have remained quiet regarding this Luger because I am not an expert. However, my opinion is that the "5" stamped on parts, some in odd locations (sear bar, double stamp on side plate, inside front toggle link), is a red herring. I think that the gun was assembled from partly unfinished/rejected parts - a "lunch box special."
