I will venture a theory about a higher polish and finish eagle f pistols that look original. Maybe Mauser had left over rejected parts from earlier production that they used to make up production late in the war. So you could have a few higher polished guns. Just a theory of course

I suppose anything is possible, but the expanded [somewhat fuzzy] photo of 947113 looks like it is ribbed (not polished), just without any grip strap finish left, and with a deep succinct serial number. It looks original to me.

Theories, or course, are put forth to explain things, assuming they hold up.  If there were rejects of earlier high polish frames, why reuse them on a late war Police contract.  The factory was still making Army and Commercial models and it seems to me that the Police could be the pickier of the three customers and if they were rejected frames, they were rejected for a reason.  Seems to me that rejected frames would be used on Commercial, not Police.

Looks ribbed finished with a fast and light dip in the tank.  Looks real to me.  I am at a lose about how some got beautifully finished.  That is just over my head in late war.

Production runs are done in batches. Everyone has good days and bad days. Perhaps it was dependent on the time allowed for polishing, whether or not bombs were falling close by that day, how reliable the electricity was that day, how fresh the bluing chemicals were on that day. Late war on the losing side all sorts of things could be going on. It is one of those things that makes the collecting/research more interesting to me.

Look at this 9071??, Police L.  If I had the complete serial number, I would share. Interesting tooling marks.

Jim, I've seen this machining pattern on a number of other Mausers.  Here is a similar pattern on 929334.
