Actually, it is Luger number 171. The Prussian Schupo numbered different types of weapons in separate number series. Lugers were numbered in one series, Mauser M1914s in another, bayonets in another, etc., etc.

Joe, may we know the serial number and letter suffix of this pistol and whether or not it has or had sear or mag safeties?
