Looks like a nice 'type 2' High Power to me! Nice score!
Is the front sight unaltered? Looks OK to me, based on your photos.
I have seen a lot of these with 'filed down' front sights. The only explanation I can think of for this is that the 9mm ammo available here in the US during the post-war period was quite underpowered compared to the wartime German-issued 9mm, and the pistols' owners compensated for POI by filing down the front sight. One of my 2 (type 3) High Powers has been altered in such a fashion.
If you shoot it, Winchester White Box should function fine.
