so, I see an army Erfurt luger that was 1920 property marked (not technically a date) and went into police service at some point, likely in the mid 20's.
It received a sear safety and a mag safety in the 30's, with the mag safety disconnected as required in a few years later.
Mismatched - hopefully you didn't pay too much?

oh, the numbers on the rear are sometimes said they are a rack number, but with the period afterwards, it makes it look to me like a weimar provisional marking (unit marking)
