The serial number range you have given would put it close to the 1000 Lugers purchased by the U.S. Army for test purposes in 1901. These Lugers were imported specifically for test purposes, and wouldn't be marked "GERMANY". It would be best if you could provide us with close-up, quality photos of you Luger.
After the end of testing by the U.S. Army. The remaining Lugers were sold as military surplus throughout the U.S.
