Actually, 1921 dated Lugers were manufactured in 1921. Your "1924" conventional wisdom is an outdated assumption; much new information has come to light since that concept was popular.
You are correct about the relative lack of desirability of Weimar-ea Lugers, compared to WWI/WWII Lugers, and the essence of the reason why.
It would be interesting to see pictures of your 1921 dated gun. Knowing its markings and other characteristics would allow us to give you a much clearer picture of its history.
