Default [Identify] Need some help with "Franken"Luger

Good morning all,
Happy to be new to the Luger forum as I now have my Dad's Luger back!! After looking at this forum and photos here, it is clear once again that "maintenance, care and feeding" was NOT one of my dad's strong suits!!
I poured over the markings in this pdf catalog https://www.selfdefensefund.com/wp-c...7/09/Luger.pdf but not much help.

There is adequate matching of the S/N 3825 (25s) throughout the mainbody but things get sketchy after that...Standard DWM across the top and then things begin to unravel. No S/N on the barrel, two proofs that I can't make out on the barrel along with the calibre (7.65).

Trying to upload photos, here's link to imgur for album there. https://imgur.com/a/qmTkMvV Imgur photos will be larger, better for zooming.

If I could get some feedback on the ID of the gun would be thankful. Will gladly post additional photo, zoomed/macro'd as necessary to help anyone kind enough to help me.

Some provenance on the gun; family from France, fled to North Africa during WWII, returned to France later. I know my father had the gun in the US for past 55 yrs. Don't know if he got it in Europe Post-War, picked up during war? And everyone is dead now so can't ask them.

Finally, will break down gun and clean and start to refurbish.....If I could also ask that you list the first 3 things you would do regarding getting this luger back in health.

Thanks in advance
