My first guess is a 1908 Military serial #2677e dated 1911, but appears to have a stock lug in photo 1. The problem with this id is that 1908s have no stock lug.

I can see the first "1" in the original date in picture 4. The rest of the date is either worn off, is not visible in the photo or was partially scrubbed.

If it does have a sear safety, then that would denote Weimar reissue in 20's for police use. We would need to see photos of the left side.

Is the magazine numbered? Any unit markings on front grip strap?
