You have a dated 1918 Erfurt made military Luger. It was the last year that the goverment arsenal in Erfurt made weapons. Those are Imperal proof/acceptance stamps on the right side of the frame.

The "low serial" number is somewhat misleading, as these military Luger's serial numbers were repeated when they reached 9999. The numbers would start over again at 1, but then with a letter suffix. If you check the full serial number on the front of the frame, below the barrel, you may see the suffix letter, (often hard to decipher).

Nice Luger
