Col. T, beware, you are about to step in "luger quicksand"! Late 1800 "Lugers" were prototypes, called "Borchardt-Lugers" and are essentially museum pieces, if not outright faked. If you are aware of the military serial numbering system, a three digit luger came around every 10,000 lugers or so. A three digit comercial luger could be an early 1900 model but could also be a contract luger, many of which are valuable. Rather than just "looking" at this luger, instead take photos and post them here for honest answers!
