Rear Connecting Pin

Forgot one bit of information. DWM, Simson, and Krieghoff were all reworking and repairing Lugers in the early 1920's if not before. We know that Simson was to do most of the repairs after 1922, and Krieghoff was doing repairs as early as 1921 because of the back frame marked Krieghoff's dated 1921. DWM was also doing repairs. It is very possible that Simson or Krieghoff repaired something on this 1917, like a spring or something, and put in a numbered rear connecting pin at that time. I feel fairly confident that is was not originally issued with the numbered pin in 1917.
