Picked up a 1918 Erfurt Luger. Did I do well?

Hello, first post here. My dad has been craving a Luger since I was a teenager, and I picked one up at an auction earlier in the week. I know next to nothing about Lugers and was curious if I did well on this purchase. I have seen these go for over $1000, but I don't know enough to tell if the condition here qualifies this gun for that price range. It appears to be all numbers matching. It has some pitting and wear, but it is almost 100 years old.

Either way, this isn't an investment, it will be shot from time to time (unless I hear NOOOOO DON'T DO IT!

)

I picked it up for $400, did I do ok? I plan to give it to my dad for Christmas. Thanks for your time.
