Hello Stephen and welcome to the forum.

i can't see much detail in your photos. If you take more, try taking them in natural light, and get closeups of markings in sharp focus.

I doubt your Luger was made of leftover parts. Is it in .30 Luger caliber? That is what I would expect.

The "n" block of DWM alphabet commercial Lugers would have been made in about 1924 by DWM in Berlin. Mauser didn't start until after they moved the tooling to Oberndorf in the early 1030s...

It looks like the parts that are normally strawed might have been gold plated when this Luger was refinished.

Can you tell if the grips are ivory, or are they plastic?

In any case, you have a nice shooter Luger to enjoy at the range! These are less popular than 9mm Military Lugers, partially because they cost more to shoot in the .30 Luger caliber - if that's what this is...
