It's a 1940 Mauser Banner commercial with strawed small parts; safety lever, trigger, magazine release, takedown lever and probably the ejector. It should be rust blued and the barrel is most likely salt blued. There is probably an E/N on the front of the sight block as well. The serial number should have a w suffix. It would be nice to see better pictures of the gun both sides, pics of the mags and the bases would be appreciated as well. That's a nice Luger, wouldn't mind having it in my collection.

BTW, if you are storing it in that egg crate case, please don't. Those cases are notorious for ruining guns, get a bore store or something similar. Also, I wouldn't shoot it either. If it has all matching numbers on the small parts and one breaks, the value of that Luger is greatly reduced.
