Saxman,
The object of Luke's research is the early DWM military Lugers of the 1908 pattern having no stock lug. The date is stamped over the chamber from 1910 to 1913. If your Luger is a 1908 and is not dated, then it would have been manufactured in 1908 or 1909, and the commercial style serial numbering is normal. The serial number of your Luger is unusual in that I have not seen any reference to a suffix higher than "b" for the 1908 undated Lugers. The serial number 40xxh is well beyond that range. Could you check and see if it is perhaps a partially stamped "b"?
