Bill,
The conclusions you have drawn from Bobba's descriptions are understandable. However, I do not believe that your low serial number gun could have been assembled as late as 1905. Consider that your gun is lower than the serial numbers of the U.S. Test Trial Lugers (also drawn from commercial production) which were delivered in October 1901. I am relatively certain that your early commercial was produced not later than 1901.
