Hi, and welcome to the forum. I'm afraid we don't have good news for you...

Take better lit pictures in shaded (indirect) sunlight. Use a tripod, and the closeup setting of a digital camera. Don't use the camera in a Smart Phone. The white background is causing your camera to underexpose the Luger.

Your Luger has a Mauser manufactured and accepted receiver. The frame is Mauser also (it has the Mauser "hump" shape at the rear of the ears). Most of the rest of it is probably Mauser as well, but E/2 marked parts would be from a Krieghoff. Why no photo of the top of the receiver and toggle?

Clear pictures of all the external markings are needed to help much more.

If there is a Krieghoff toggle on this, it is a mismatch. A mismatch shooter doesn't have a fraction of the value that a matching Krieghoff has, even if it does have Krieghoff parts in it.
