My first Luger!

I have found a Luger pistol marked Erfurt on the toggle. It is chambered for 9mm and has a 4" barrel. The serial number is 1194 on the front of the trigger guard. The 94 repeats on the rear of the toggle, the top of what I believe is the extractor, the takedown lever, on the back link of the toggle under the rear sight, and on other parts of the action. The date 1940 is stamped on the top of the breech/action, ahead of the ejection port. The clip has a plastic base and is marked MADE IN GERMANY on the back side near the bottom. There is a very small 2 on the left side of the toggle near the center. There are two small stampings on the top that are too small for me to make out. The bluing is very good and the grips are in excellent condition. Can anyone tell me anything of the origins or other facts about my gun? Thanks! You can also reach me at bigdinla1@msn.com.
