That's a beautiful Luger. Congratulations... and welcome to the forum.

The magazine is modern and post-war. Perhaps a Mec-gar?

The galling on the left receiver ear (last picture) is unusual. Is it balanced on the right side? The mark on the rear of the receiver is asymmetric. Not sure what might be causing these things.

Be sure to only use standard velocity 9mm luger ammunition. On these Mauser Lugers there should be 21 turns on the recoil spring.

Check to see if the number "15" is stamped inside the trigger plate.
