thanks for the excellent photographs. The book Central Powers Pistols has some information on these 1911 dated Lugers and the Deutsch Sud-West-Afrika Shutztruppe during World War I (pages 279 and 280). German SW Africa surrendered on 9 July 1915 with 1,331 killed.

The Great War in Africa by Byron Farwell is an excellent reference on the conflict between South Africa and German SW Africa during World War I.
As George said the suffix is an "f".
