G date luger

Hello all, I posted on another forum but you can never get enough advice. I was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about this luger from markings and serial? From what little research I've done I think they are early date proof marks. How can you tell if it was police or military?

The serial number is 1989. There are no prefixes. Magazine says 1989 at base. What do the marks below the serial on the magazine mean? Appears to read 8,82 below serial on barrel. The gun was supposedly liberated from Dachau concentration camp on April 29th. I know to be weary of all stories, but the veteran in question did serve with the 45th Infantry Division (Thunderbird) and was present at the liberation.

An idea on value? Thanks.
