Welcome, Sean, to the forum. Thanks for taking the trouble to join and show us this pistol.

You will notice a script "k" below the numeric digits on the front of the frame. This is part of the gun's serial number, thus the complete serial is 8282k. Some people seem reticent to post their complete serial numbers, typically in listing their firearm for sale or other public discussion/exposure--though nobody has ever presented me with a reason why, or what it accomplishes or protects. Subsequent proper descriptive photos usually reveal it, anyway. In this case, it is likely a courtesy extended to its owner...

One thing to check for evaluating the originality of the grips is whether or not the holes on their back sides are threaded, and if they will accept a grip screw.

Though it would seem you are not afflicted by the 'Luger Bug", enjoy your time here, and it might bite you, too!
