Welcome to the forum.

some straight left, straight right and full serial number would help us, help you.

Not sure what you are asking for on the acceptance and proofs on the right? There were different inspectors, each with a stamp...

Lugers can be finicky, so ammo is important. Lots of folks like the winchester white box brand. The wolf brand is fine, although I believe steel cased?

The trigger can be tweaked, but if it works fine, then figure it out as is, I say that because it is easy to mess up the trigger pull and if you look at the mechanism, you can see that the trigger pushes onto the sideplate and the sideplate lever actuates the sear, kinda lengthy click...

Price seems a bit high, but not awful if all original and matching. Keep in mind that if you shoot it and break a numbered part (rare occurrence, but I've done it), then the value goes waaay down. Depending on the part, it could go down to shooter level ($600-$800).
