This is a usefull thread regarding the front sight;

I don't think the Luger is that bad.. it has had a long life and would make a great 'shooter'.
Second that. Also the safety is numbered with a diferent type of letters. And yes of course, no stock lug present, also tells us this is a pre 1913.
So 1909-1913 is the closest we can find out for now. A bit of a mystery sometimes makes this more fun.
Refinished or not, you got a great and interesting pistol there. I would reccomment that you detail strip it, inspect and clean througly. Clean up the pitting and enjoy shooting one of the most fun pistols you can have.

btw. Lugers are ammo sensitive so it could teke some tests to find out what ammo yours like.

So....Enjoy !!!!!!
