Sounds like a commecial Luger to me that was pressed into military service... The garbled word looks to me that it could be stamped with the country of origin (Germany), which would have been necessary on an imported commercial pistol
As to books to buy... do a forum search on "books" and you will find many threads on this subject. Welcome to the Lugerforum.
