New to Lugers Part 1

Hi all!

I am very new to the Luger world. What I have here is a piece my Dad has kept in the closet for ages. Unfortunately, quite neglected as you may see in the pictures. I was just hoping to get a little bit of history and info about this piece. I am surprised to see proofmarks EVERYWHERE when I took it apart to clean it up a bit. I took pictures of all the marks I could see in hope that they may help shed a bit of light on this piece. If you need more specific pictures, I would gladly take more. Just let me know where to look.

All I know that it seems to be a 1917 military luger.

Cheers in advance for the help

Looks like there is a maximum post of 10 pictures. Will upload the rest in Part 2.
