Under the IMKK rules DWM only produced commercial Luger in .30 caliber with 3 7/8 inch barrels.

Dick,
I must respectfully disagree.
The rear sight on the toggle is useless and any self respecting 'smith or builder can remove it in a few minutes, even with a file.

These commercial carbines have nothing to do with the IMKK.
I doubt any were produced between 1919 and 1921, as Germany was in compete disarray and would not be able to "export" arms during that time. Later in the 1920's , yes. JMHO
