Jeremy,
Welcome. Your pretty new pistol was made in 1922. It is known as a 1920 Commercial by most because of the older books used for years as reference. More recently (and I think more correct) it is called a DWM Alphabet commercial. Jan Stills, Weimar and early Nazi Lugers, is more up to date.
Serial #2259k, not "h", as the suffix serialization for this variation started at "i". The last two digits of the serial"59" should also be on the bottom of the extractor.bottom of the forward toggle and the lower left side of the breech block. GELADEN is German for loaded.
Enjoy it and be careful, there very addictive.
