I agree that your luger was probably originally made as an artillery model and was still in military use in 1920 when is was converted to the 4" barrel. Sometime later in the Weimar period it was used by a Saxon police unit and continued in police hands into the Third Reich when the sear safety was added. Lugerdoc
