Adler,
From your description it's probably a DWM Alphabet commercial. S#9805k was made late 1922. It should have a 98mm or 3 7/8" barrel. The parts that are numbered (fewer than military variations) are in the commercial/hidden style. Many thousands were sent to the US and export stamped 'GERMANY' or 'MADE IN GERMANY'. Some are bring backs, and won't have the export stamp.

Thanks guys, your information is greatly appreciated. I may run by the dealer next week and take another gander at my Luger to verify what I saw and whether or not it has a "Germany" stamp; I don't recall one, but then the older I get the more I can't recall! Things like where I parked my car when I come out of a mall.
If I have any additional information before I pick it up on the 5th of January I'll post it.
I've been pouring over the tons of information on this web-site and I can't get over the wealth of knowledge available.
Thanks again,
Adler Auger aka; Dale
