DWM continued to produce new Lugers after WWI. Tens of thousands of commercial Lugers were produced and sent to the US and other countries in the twenties and also 1920 and 1921 dated Army/Police military contract Lugers were produced. DWM made Lugers until 1930 when Luger production was moved to Mauser. I believe S#74320 would be considered a 1914 commercial, and is proper with a 9mm barrel. According to Dwight Grubers commercial database it was made around 1915. As Jerry noted, the numbered rear axle pin was added later.
