first luger, going over the markings

To a collector, "matching" means that the pistol left the factory with all the original parts presently on the pistol. This is not the case for your Luger since marks reflect different eras.

It is a shooter, and if mechanically sound you should shoot it to your heart's content.

Stick to standard velocity ammunition and don't store the metal within the holster.

I'm not sure of the mark on your sear bar. Is it a crown over letter? If so it could be Erfurt.
