Joe,
Welcome to the forum. That mark is for the Schutzpolizei (uniformed large-city police) of the city or governmental district of Bautzen in the state of Saxony. What makes you believe the pistol is a 1914 commercial? Most of the known Lugers with this marking were manufactured in the mid-1920s. If you would tell us the serial number and letter suffix on the pistol, it will help. I would also be interested in whether this Luger has/had a sear and/or magazine safety and any other markings (proofs, etc.) on the gun. Photos would be a huge help.
