1915 Luger, what to look for

It's a mismatch or has been manipulated... Side plate is missing a number. Military Lugers would not have the "GERMANY" import mark, which is more likely stamped on a Alphabet Commercial frame. Safety lever should be strawed. Grip has the million dollar chip. Font of digits on the receiver don't look like DWM dies to me.

Is this one in 9mm or .30 Luger caliber?

As a mismatch it may be worth $600 if it functions properly. Certainly would not be collectable if my observations are correct.
