What Kind of Luger is This
 
I am trying to figure out what I have here. The story is that it came back from WWII. As you can see in the pictures it has no date stamp, it is manufacture, has no markings on the handle and a 5" or 6" barrel depends if you measure to the chamber. I believe it to be a Navy Military but not sure. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated

I'm guessing that it is an ex-WW1 gun, mismatched, rebarreled and with the date aggressively scrubbed off from over the chamber. Some Erfurt parts.
Not a Naval military gun, and probably not even a battle gun, given the "Germany" export mark, but a former military parts gun exported for a commercial market.
Any numbers on the bottom of the barrel?
Looks like an interesting shooter to me, but pretty well modified beyond collector interest.
Also, can you make out the printing on the left side beneath the numbers but above the takedown lever?

First of all, thank you for the info. There are no numbers on the barrel and above the takedown lever it says "Germany"
