Welcome to the forum.
I wish MY wife bought me gifts like this! I agree with Sergio that it is difficult to give much opinion on your Luger without more photos. Closeup pictures of all the exterior markings other than serial numbers on small parts would be very helpful.
That being said, perhaps this Luger was kept by a German citizen or ex-soldier immediately after WWI and they tried to grind off the date in an attempt to hide the original production date from the IMKK. Pure speculation by a rookie..
Definitely post more/better pics and ask questions. Read old threads. There is an amazing amount of knowledge available to you here.
