The frame is from an Artillery Luger (you can see the slot in the
front top, which would have housed the rear of the ramp sight.
The frame is stamped with a Crown over N. This a german "Nitro"
commercial proof mark found on lugers produced after 1920.

The barrel is what is commonly called a "1920 Commercial".
The reason for this is that immediately post war the German
government were forced under the treaty of versailles to
dispose of their 9mm pistols, so they rebarreled them in
the smaller 7.65mm parabellum and large numbers were
sold off to foreign governments.

A lovely clean pistol ideal as a collection piece or Sect.7.3
pistol. Over 85% blued finish and 65% straw to small parts.
