It's a military Luger that has been refinished using parts from different pistols. The notch at the front of the receiver shows that the receiver was on either a DWM Artillery Luger or a 1914 Erfurt Artillery Luger or a 1916 ~ 1918 Erfurt short barrel Luger. The date and proof/inspection stamps have been scrubbed so there's no way to tell.
The toggle train - or parts of it - are Erfurt while the frame is DWM. Your Luger falls into the shooter grade category. It has no collector value but if you inherited it, the sentimental value may outweigh all other considerations... as it should.
