Your's looks to be the Swiss version. Different grip shape.
I have one of these Interarms, the German Navy version (6 inch barrel) that is my regular range gun. A fine shooter.
Do be careful about dry firing, They have a slightly different firing pin. And the grips a slightly different. As in you can't replace them.

Unfortunately it takes only one round and the monetary and historical value of a KRIEGHOFF may drop like a rock.
LUGERS were not considered fragile guns... 70 years ago, and tiny fractures may occur on slides and frames, and there are a variety of things that might happen when an old pistol is fired, on a shooter might not be a problem (apart from safety of the person) but on a collectible surely is.
