Congratulations on your first Luger!
It is a late WWI 1918, 'e' block. It is in very nice condition except for the grips being dented up. I would say it could be 96%+ blue.
The grips are walnut, which is not usual for this year. Are the grips are numbered to the gun? (I will guess no, but I could be wrong)
How do know it's 9mm? By the 8.82 on the barrel.
The flat springs should be bright blue - you can clean them gently to see if they brighten up.
Is there a halo on the SN under the barrel? Shine a bright flashlight on it at a 45 deg angle and you should see a lighter outline around the numbers.
