Welcome to the forum, there are so many inconsistencies that I won't even attempt to sort it all out. Erfurts were military and should have a date but it could have been removed when reworked. On the 6" barrel ("Allemagne" means "French") and dovetailed sights are additions. The adjustable rear sight is either an artillery sight on a shortened barrel or a Navy sight on the rear of the toggle, not sure by description where it is. The Erfurt on the toggle means its an Erfurt toggle. The grips are matched to the frame, does the toggle and frame numbers match and does the mag match both? Its real in that its a Luger but not in its "as issued" condition. If you like it and it shoots and looks good to you then it is worth the $600. Shoot the hell out of it. The major deal with shooting collector guns is that if a serial numbered part breaks then value decreases drastically. Post a few pictures, I'd like to see it.
