"Commercial Artillery"?

But given that the gun in question bears a 1916 chamber date, it seems to me that this particular Luger was a military gun converted by persons unknown for the civilian market.
Are we in agreement there?

Could also be that it is shown in the three books. Maybe a popular conversion following WW I.

A pawn shop seems an unlikely place to find a cache like this. Perhaps an attic trunk find by some granddaughter???

Not a pawn shop; again, a LGS. Supposedly a "local collector" put it in on consignment.
