You have a WW1 era Erfurt Luger, which was most likely rebarreled by the post war Weimar goverment for use by the police. The gun has a sear safety and a matching, police magazine.

The grips are either aftermarket or the sanded down originals. A look from the backstrap would help confirm either.

More photos of the side and top chamber markings would be helpful

Looks like a mix match of commercial and military parts? No proofs on the right of receiver and side plate numbers in the commercial location.

The number on the frame has also look a little funky, Beat up or Maybe force matched?

It's a shooter grade Luger. Value about $400 - $450 to the right person

Yes, all Erfurts were marked in the military fashion, never in the commercial manner, so it is a mixed parts gun.

I have bought a couple of $400-$450 guns, but I have always been able to sell them for around $600+

+1 around $700 would be more in the ball park.

Doesn't the "2" stamped on the mag indicate it is a police mag--the issued spare?

Regardless, if you bought it for the right price, it cycles correctly, and shoots with typical Luger accuracy, you will have a good shooter to enjoy.

It also has a police sear safety.
