Look on the underside of the sideplate and the locking bolt (take-down lever). If each has the numbers 41 stamped there then you have a 1920 Commercial..... also known as an "Alphabet" Commercial. If the front of the frame has the same 641 and the suffix letter under it, then you have a matching Luger.
If matching, your Luger was produced new in the mid-1920's for the export market and targeted for an English-speaking country.... likely the USA. They are very nicely made pistols.
The 1920 Commercial is the most frequently encountered Luger of all and probably the least expensive. The good news is, they are great shooters and the .30 Luger cartridge is very accurate and reliable. Winchester and Fiocchi both market factory .30 Luger cartridges although they're somewhat expensive. Reloading is your other option.
If you have the means, we'd all appreciate pictures of your Luger.... closeups if possible.
