Hi Jay,
According to Still's Weimar Lugers, your Luger S#2628o was made in the latter part of 1925. The newer and more correct classification is an Alphabet DWM commercial (formerly 1920 commercial). We're trying to teach old dogs new tricks. Many tens of thousands were exported to the US in the 20's. C/N stamps are commercial firing proofs. 'GERMANY' stamped under the S# is an export stamp and is the country of origin, which complies with US law. The holster is military.
