Need help identifying/assessing P08

Enclosed are pictures I was able to gather on my phone, somewhat hard to obtain complete close up shots due to lighting and the shadow of my hand blocking it out any numbers.

No markings on this this, aside from near where the frame meets the barrel. It looks like "D C D, or "B C D", with what appears to be crowns above each letter, and an eagle or falcon

"4168" on the opposing side where frame meets the barrel

"75" marked on the...take down, disassembly lever? Right under the "4168"

"75" marked on the square surface above trigger

"38 / 58 / 68" (can't make it out) next to "75", I assume this is the safety bar, since moving the lever that exposes "Geisichert" moves it up and down

"Geisichert" for the "safety"?

"1912" at the end where frame meets barrel.

"75" on the thin strip...extractor / ejection port?

"S / 42" on the... extractor / ejection port?

"75" above the circular drum knobs / charging handle?

"75" on base plate behind rear sight

Holster saying 1939 Dresden.

And a black and silver bottom magazine. Silver one marked 1759

Any assistance or insight that can be provided is greatly appreciated.

I've longed wanted a luger. But I know impulsiveness shouldn't override logic, if this $1500 piece of hardware is some $200 reproduction made in the 70s or something.
