Need Help in Identifying Luger

OP, Congrats.

MacCat provided some very good info. Your relative was kind to leave you that Luger. I bought a 1917 DWM Artillery Luger last year and paid $2750. It was rather minty and numbers matching, but only had a period correct mag, that did not numbers match.

Carefully inspect, clean and lube your LP.08 as mentioned. Do you have a photo of the bottom of the wooden mag? Do the numbers match the Luger.

When you (carefully!) remove the grips, check for numbers on the back side. They may match, too.
