Since it is chamber dated, it is obliviously started its life as government property and the Imperial military was not giving away pistols as prizes

It was marked after the war when there were a huge number of these surplus Lugers in storage, but also in former military member's homes. Many took their side arms home when the War suddenly ended, so there were a lot of these unaccountable weapons available during the Weimar Period.
