1916-1920 Luger

Gary,

Welcome to the forum. As already noted, this Luger includes various mismatched parts and would not be of interest to a collector. I note that the frame appears to have been renumbered. If you look at your last photo showing the frame serial number, note the faint "1" before the "6" and traces of other numbers below the two "0s." Also note that the front of receiver is slightly proud (forward) of the front of the frame. This indicates that the front of the frame was ground down to obscure the original serial number.

Other notes:
• The "00" under the sight are the last two digits of a serial number
• The 8,82 is the barrel diameter

Others may be able to identify the units marks.

To address your original question, the "type" of Luger is a WWI DWM but the receiver and frame do not match. My rough guess for value would be about $1000. max.
