The ONLY Lugers I have personally ever seen that didn't have a serial number on the front of the frame were guns that had obviously had their number removed (Defaced). Often, the evidence of this is that when the gun is properly assembled, the upper receiver protrudes forward of the lower frame but what amounts to about the same depth (or deeper) than the depth of the numbers that were removed.
Possession of a gun with a defaced serial number might be considered to be a problem by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives... (BATFE)... Better check their website and search for "defaced"
