Badgeguy99, sounds, at first read, to be a 1920 Commercial. What is barrel length from muzzle to face of breechblock when closed (use a pencil to measure this)? Is there a small Crown over N on the front of the receiver on the left side? Pictures might help. Sounds like an Imperial Luger (WWI Vintage) that has been reworked for the commercial market. The GERMANY marking is an EXPORT COMMERCIAL marking for sales to American market in the 20s.
