Quick ID:

It's a P08 (military German contract), made by DWM (Deutsche Waffen- und Munitionsfabriken) in Berlin, in 1916.

Hello and welcome to the forum!

The stamps on the right of the receiver are proof marks. They should be crown over a letter. The 2617 is the serial number. It should be under the barrel in front of the trigger guard and there should be a letter that follows it (under it). The letter is written in Fraktur. There should be a list of Fraktur letters around here somewhere. The two digits on a lot of the other parts should be the last two digits of the serial number if the part in question is original to the gun. The more matching parts the more original the gun is. The 8,82 is the bore size.

All in all, a nice imperial Luger.
