Can you track down history of your Luger based on the serial number?

Sadly, your gun is a reblue with a buggered sideplate and takedown lever to boot. This relegates your gun to a shooter's status, along with a much reduced value.

Is that stamped letters I see just above the safety or just dings in the metal? It almost looks like it reads "Germany"!
