Hello Jason,
The arrogant British author who decided to identify these Lugers with long barrels as a 'Chilean Trials' pistol, he was lacking knowledge about the German firearms industry during the Imperial era.
For example, as your pistol has early commercial BUG proof marks, it would not make sense for it to be connected to a foreign national trial/contract.
I have written you a message about the similar Luger pistol serial 10000B which I had examined in my hands in 2008.
Well done on a great win,
Albert
