I think Skye has it right...

Except for the cracked left grip, this one looks to be in good condition.

If interested, you should look it over carefully to determine if it's in original finish. Look for halos on any barrel serial number. Top inside the frame in the white and the toggle axle retaining pin in the white.

These are not particularly highly valued (as are the military Lugers). I bought one in great shape with original magazine a few years ago for $675. Today, perhaps $750 or so.

The .30 Luger round is great to shoot, but more expensive than the more common 9mm Luger.

Realizing that you are in Italy, there was probably no Italian requirement to import mark them at that time.
