New guy with a 1914 Erfurt

Hello Luger folks. I picked up my first Luger a few months ago and just now getting around to posting to the forum. Wanted one for years, and it fills a nice gap in my collection.

It's a 1914 Erfurt 9mm. All matching except for the mag. Looks to have been refinished at some point. The toggle and side plate appear to have been heavily buffed, but everything else looks rather sharp. The left grip is missing that common chip behind the safety, and the right one "wiggles" a bit. Not bad for 103 year old wood.

Not really sure what I have here, but I'm happy with it and plan on shooting it. (Because that's what guns are for.) Any thoughts or feedback would be much appreciated as I don't really know what I'm doing. Especially regarding the markings.

Cheers!
