You have a police Luger made in 1941. The Eagle/L is the police acceptance mark, and the Eagle/N is the commercial proof mark. The 8,82 is the bore diameter of the barrel. The X is the letter suffix of the serial number, and on the pistol the letter suffix will only be on the serial number on the front of the frame. The serial number on the barrel and left side of receiver will not have the letter suffix.
Can't tell you much more without pictures.

The Lugers with the Mauser logo on the front toggle are commonly known as the "Mauser Banner", or as in the case of yours, "Police Banner".
