Looks like a 1920's commercial luger to me.
It may not have a lot of numbered parts.
I'd very surprised if it is an AE with no export stamp somewhere.
Sometimes they are on the backside of the frame...

I can't make out any numbered small parts from the photos - a bit dark.
The strawed parts look silver to me. They should be strawed (gold colored).
The GESICHERT looks blued over, so look carefully to see if it's been touched up.

No suffix on the serial number ?
Kinda looks like a 7.65mm barrel, to me.

Price isn't bad, but you should be able to negotiate down for condition.
