Diane, George Luger was a genius like Col. Colt & John Browning. Luger"s will literally fall apart if you discover their little nuances. People are confused and mystified by what seems very complex but isn't . Look on You Tube for directions on taking apart a Luger pistol.
Diane, 1778 is likely a pistol serial yes. Not done in the usual Police serial number manner but not much other reason to see such a 4 digit number. Usually the German Police stamped serial numbers in the back right corner or along the front body leading edge of the holster. This being a commercial AKAH holster..anything is possible.
The tool looks original. Might just be the original commercial tool.
