On a matching trigger plate in that year of Mauser Luger manufacture, you would find the first two digits of the serial number, or the first digits plus 1 stamped on the inside. It's probable that this trigger plate was replaced at some point.

As nice as the condition on this Luger is, the replacement of parts and rework probably makes this more of a high end "shooter" than a collectible.

For that reason, I see no reason to avoid shooting it. Use standard velocity 9mm 115gn or 124gn ammo.
