What do I have?

Hello, I have a Luger P.08, but do not know what I have and would like a little help. I got the gun to go with my other German WW2 stuff and paid $700 for it.

The Barrel & the square part with serial number on the LHS has about 30-40% of blue. Rest of the gun has about 90%.

The barrel does have slight pitting on it.

Gun has serial 7767 w/67 on all visable parts. Has 1938 & S/42 on top surface.

Has a lower case k on front part of gun, just below the barrel. There is the serial number above that.

On the bottom of the Barrel is the number 884.

RHS of gun has 4 Bird impressions. 2 have 83 or 63 under them & the other 2 (1 is on the Barrel) look like birds spreading it's wings.

Grips are checkered, kind of blackish/brown. Worn smooth around the screw. Sounds like plastic but has wood texture. How do I find out what they are?

Mag is none matching, but has FXO, a bird/37 on the top & bottom & P.08 stamped. It shows slight pitting & light rust. How can I clean it up?

The lower part of the hand grip has a bump on the backside, I was told for holding a shoulder stock.

I was looking for a war relic and any help would be appreciated.
