Daniel, always a challenge! Need more info, such as barrel length (should be 4 3/4"), proofs (should be crown/N left receiver, left side of breechblock and under barrel), markings over chamber (should be none), etc. Is "GERMANY" stamped anywhere, such as in front of frame where the full serial is stamped, right side of receiver, back of frame, etc. This piece is PROBABLY a 1920 commercial (page 39 of Aarron's book). Examples with grip safeties are definitely seen, but are more unusual. 1920 commercials are the most common type of Luger with numerous variations. In excellent condition would be worth around $1800-2000.
