Export Marking?

My 1912 ERFURT Luger is marked "GERMANY" vertically behind the safety lever. This is in addition to the normal "GESICHERT" marking but in smaller characters. The toggel is marked with a crown over RC in addition to other normal military proof marks. I think this indicates an arsenal rework.
Can anyone explain the purpose marking? Possibly an export marking?
Thanks to all for their help in educating this "newbie wannabe" collector
