Sure, but make sure you look at the FAQ in the new collector area for some terms I will use.

Welcome to the forum!

Bottom picture first, those are Weimar acceptance 'dove' and eagle proof marks (left to right)
the 8,82 or the like is land to land measurement of the barrel grooves (means 9mm luger)
the marking underneath the serial number is a suffix and is part of the serial number, while the 'K"xx.xx is a weimar unit marking that you almost never see in that location. My mind is blank, before official rules on marking.. uhhhh, somebody will call it

Serial number with matching magazine, unusual, not rare but nice.
Serial number on barrel with suffix, and then last two should be on firing pin, trigger, other parts.

Looks original to me, not a rearsenal? Any import markings on the barrel I can't see?
