This appears to be a military Luger made before 1914 (indicated by the added hold open in the last photo). It has had the chamber date scrubbed but the 1920 property stamp remains, although the last digit is partially gone. The serial number on the receiver looks like it may have been over struck. It has been at least partially buffed, indicated by the soft edge below the trigger guard on the grip strap, and refinished (straw parts are black and there is no edge wear). The worn grips don't fit very well and may be from another gun. The J. R. unit mark on the grip strap may be Jäger Batallion Radfahrerkompanie.
