According to Costanzo in his "Proofmarks" book, this banner falls in the Swiss commerical range, but he shows them as 7.65mm with the 4&3/4" (120mm) long barrel with a grip safety. TH

If you have G&S red books, check pages 768 & 769. The first Oberndorf Swiss pistols in the 5xxv range began in 1931-1932. Then, at approximately 900v in 1933, and over the next 1,000 to approximately 1900v when the 1935 Portuguese GNR contract began, there was a mix of configurations including Swiss models, Stoeger AE Lugers and blank chamber 9mm Lugers with 100mm barrels which fits the OP's Luger. The .30 caliber Lugers within that range were made with both 98mm and 120mm barrels.
