Assuming that...

IMO, Hugh is correct..... a commercial "alphabet" Luger of the mid-1920's. The letter suffix which I believe to be "o" would be correct and the lack of military serial numbers on the sideplate and locking bolt plus the commercial C/N proof on the left and no military proofs on the right side all point to it being exactly what Hugh says it is. Not to mention the "GERMANY" stamp. The grips are replacements as Hugh points out and I also think the holster is a later addition. Finally, even though the ad says 9mm, I'm willing to bet that it's a .30 caliber.

At best it's a good shooter-grade pistol.
