It sounds like the most common Luger, an "Alphabet" Commercial, more commonly, and incorrectly, referred to as a "1920 Commercial".Is it export marked "GERMANY"?

Is the side plate numbered on the bottom edge, or on the face? It should be a stamped on the bottom edge, known as "hidden commerial numbering" in collector parlance. Also, is it in .30 Luger caliber or 9mm. .30 Luger is the most commonly found. 9mm's aren't rare but not as common.
