Your stock is a commercial only in that it was unissued and subsequently exported to the US after 1918. It is actually a Navy stock acceptence stamped and originally intended for naval issue.

Based on illustrations in pre 1914 commercial navy Luger manuals, the true commercial navy stocks would have lacked the steel property disc and serial number on the iron.
