Kurgen/Jerry, your pistol is a typical civilian-market pistol commonly known as an “alphabet Luger.” They were made in the mid to late 1920s. The “Germany” stamp indicates yours was intended for sale to the US market. They’re one of the most common Lugers found.

As an aside, you probably ought to open your own thread instead of hijacking another. (I’m sure Ed or one of the other mods will be along shortly to do so for you.). Welcome to the forum and be sure to read the FAQ - it has a wealth of information on ID’ing Lugers.
