Stu, I see you received no answers on this so I'll take a crack at it just so you'll know next time. The pistol in question is a 1916 DWM originally chambered for 9mm. The barrel has been changed - likely in the post-WW1 era - to .30 caliber, making it a "commercial" .30 Luger. Thousands of military pistols were done this way after WW1 and they are among the most common of all Lugers to be found.
At 90% finish, this pistol is worth $500 - $600 IMO. The starting price of the auction is absurd and it's no wonder there were no bids.
