Thanks Alvin!!
Your link to Griffin & Howe paid off. According to their website, a copy of the original sales book page and other items pertaining to your gun now run $60. Darn cheap if you ask me. I called today and was told a Mr. bob Beach handles all of the historical enquiries and he was not in today. I left word and hopes he calls back. By the way, my gun is a C96 Mauser made in 1905 with the VD&L stamp on it. I have a copy of their 1922 catalog and they show 4" barreled Lugers at $25 and 8" Lugers at $40.
