My first Luger

Good write-up John. The very first thing that I noticed was that the rear sight adjustible sight tang bar did not have a serial number on it and neither did the underside of the barrel. I squinted a bit, but it looks like the front sight was not adjustible. The 1916 arty was the last year that the front sight had militarily spec for adjustible front sight.
Submarine Vet, don't feel bad. Lugers are a learning experience. I've been burned a bit over the years too. I am still learning even though I generally try to stick to Imperial Era Lugers. Try not to get impatient. Cash is king and time is in your favor. Nice Lugers are out there but sometimes you have to wait for the right one to come along.
