Thats a post war import civilian luger. You can tell by the "N" and crown on the barrel and the side. The blank top where a production year went, and the what appears to be a "k" suffix makes this a 1921-1922 produced commercial gun most likely in 7.65 Mauser . Also noted the "GERMANY" on the front was normal import markings pre 1968. It does appear numbers matching but it's not a war time bring back.

Don't let that deter you at all especially if it was your grandfathers. It use to be pre 1968 you could mail order pistols and rifles to your house or old ww2 vets use to buy them from the local VFW
