When you decide to take the luger to the range, be sure to use 9 mm rounds that are 115 gran. No Nato ammo, just to be safe. The markings I believe make the Luger produced not for the military branch. Been a while since in this area.

As others have said, this is a 'mismatch' made from various parts ( not unusual with Lugers ).
However, the frame was certainly made in 1939 by Mauser and the double 'WaA 63' Eagle marking indicates military proof ( the single Eagle is a firing proof ). The 'byf' marked toggle is late-production Mauser ( the original mark would have been 'S/42' ). A minor detail is that the narrow style of the numbers used for the 1939 date were used for that year only.
OK, it's not perfect but thanks for sharing - anything WW2 Luger is interesting for many of us.....
