vwcut,

In the first place, Commercial is a category, not a condescention. There are a number of different Luger varieties which have "Commercial" variations, your brief descripition is insufficient to identify which one it might be.

The principle considerations in evaluating a Luger are 1. Condition, 2. Condition, and 3. Condition. Even if you have the most common, 1920s-era Commercial Luger, in prime condition it is still a collection-quality gun. In fact, because the 1920s Alphabet Commercial is the most plentiful variation, their cost is relatively moderate and this can be a good way to start out a serious Luger collection.
