I am trying to ID the history of a Luger 9mm for a friend who knows even less than I do about these pistols. It has a 4 digit serial number 5029. The same full serial number appears on the reciever as well as under the barrel. The last two digits of the serial also appear on several of the smaller parts that are visible from the outside. Even on the inside of the both grips. On the top of the reciever just behind the barrel is 1914 stamped in. On the toggle, which has the same last 2 serial numbers on it, it also has a Crown with the word ERFURT. Scattered over it are other smaller stampings, some in script some seem to be pictures. Without something to compare it against, I can't make out what they are. The finish seems to be roughly 80-90% with most wear being where it would be expected on high touch areas.

Here are a few pictures, anymore you guys could provide info would be appreciated. these pics were taken with a 2MB camera that doesn't focus well up close. I'll try to get access to a better camera if it would be helpful.
