Help Identifying Luger

My view is that the finish is original, from the photos available. It jibes with the story. Why would a baker have a Luger? His personal gun from WW1, or a relatives, most likely. Kept intact and never used between the wars and until surrendered in 1945.

Also, I would expect and expertly "restored" Luger to be paired with a nice, correct WW1 holster to enhance the deception, not a civilian offering.
