50megawatts,
The "k" script under the serial number is not the same as a "K" date. The "k" script is part of the serial number and indicates an increment of 10,000. K being the 11th letter of the alphabet, a k script would equate to 110,000 - so in effect the serial number of your Luger is 112,577. The "K" date is an upper case K stamped over the chamber and as Leon indicated is code for 1934. Also, like Leon, I am not really up to speed on Lugers unless they were produced before 1918 so I can't be of much further help.
