Raimo, close-up pictures of the pistol from all angles would be nice. It sounds like a re-worked military issue pistol from the post-war period when many commercial Lugers were made from former military guns by changing the barrel from a 100mm 9mm to a 98mm 7.65mm. Some had the date "scrubbed" (removed) and "Germany" stamped on the front of the frame or the right side of the receiver or elsewhere. Your pistol, however, is unusual in that it has a commercial proof on a military receiver and the English word "SAFE"..... something of an oddity.

Please tell us more about the pistol. Are the serial numbers all matching? Is the caliber 9mm or 7.65mm (.30 cal.)? Give us as many details as possible and pictures too, if you can.

The post-WW1 rework Lugers are very common but if in nice condition can still bring a fair price. It all depends upon the details and condition.
