1918 Erfurt luger

I have a 1918 Ertfurt In very good condition, all original parts including on magazine. However, It has british markings which were only put into use after 1925 (it is marked NOTBRITISHMAKE). I know it was used by HAGANA forces in 1947-8 and it was probably used in the jewish brigade of the british army during WWII. Can anyone tell me where did the british get such guns (It was not made for british use, the safety is marked in german) and why did it take them more then 7 years to put it into service? I was also wondering what would be the price of such an article in the free market.
