Looks to be a post-WW1 DWM model 1906 commercial Luger sold as a commercial pistol on the Swiss civilian market. It's interesting that it has the serial number on the left receiver in the military style but all else is commercial.

The cross in sunburst was used by DWM to mark Swiss commercial Lugers and also the first 9000 Swiss military 1906 Lugers. However, the crown/N shows that the gun was proofed in Germany and not by Swiss military authorities.

At some point, your Luger was imported into the US as evidenced by the "GERMANY" stamp on the frame.

That is a beautiful example of a commercial Swiss Luger.
