Welcome.
It is difficult to say anything about your luger with certainty, pictures help a lot. That said: The barrel may have been replaced after 1916 by one made or installed during 1940-45, due to the presence of the third reich test eagle. The grip markings are probably original to 1916, and represent "Reserve Infantry Regiment 13, company 3, weapon number 3.

Perhaps one of the guys with the "german regiment book" will look it up for you and post.
