1906 AE Luger Rebarrel.......ALMOST

Thanks to Ron Wood for saving this Luger. Got a 1906 American Eagle in today with some finish problems. Owner wanted to rebarrel as he said the barrel serial didnt agree with the otherwise matched gun. Well, it was a BUG proofed barrel and I noticed Charlie Kenyon's Lugers at Random book shows this additional number which is not a serial number. (17228) These numbers were BOTH on the gun and it looked to the uneducated Luger enthusiast (me) that it was double serialized. Well anyway Ron cleared this up and said it WAS a correct barrel. The owner wanted it rebarreled to 9mm but a subsequent phone call and he changed his mind, thank goodness! Anyway, please note, if you see this arrangement, dont be surprised, it is correct on this variation. Here is what Kenyon's LAR shows, it is proof #1.
