Lasn,

Looks like you have a commercial luger, called the alphabet series. See the crown/N above the numbers on the left side? These were made from 1921-1928. I can't quite read the letter under the ser. no. on the front of the frame. That would give me a month and year. There were about 90,000 of these made. Somewhere on it you'll also find 'Germany' or' Made in Germany' if it was exported to the USA.

Calibre? One test is to see if the eraser end of a wood pencil will fit down the muzzle. Lot's of room, it's a 9mm. No go, or tight it's a 7.65

I'll let the better informed tell you about the holster, and condition The mags look like commercial variety.
