"Made In Austria" Luger?

Greetings, While searching GunBroker.com, I noticed an Erfurt Luger, marked "Made In Austria." Vas ist das? Thanks in advance for the info.

I haven't seen the gun in question, but I suspect the marking is on a replacement barrel that was added at a much later date than the original production of the gun.

It seems to be one of the Lugers from the armed guard at the crucifixion...

The fact that it has been rebarreled and refinished aside, that is kind of a neat Luger. The markings make it worthy of consideration, but unfortunately not at the asking price.
