"I seen many 1920 commercials without nitro proofs."

Don't know how many "legitimate" un-proofed Commercial Lugers you've seen, but Germany has very strict 'Mandatory' proof laws. A firearm cannot be sold legally without proof marks.

There is an export or import mark on the side rail. It appears to be the required 'GERMANY' export mark.
