Help Identifying luger

There is a story behind it, but from doing a little research and thinking this is a commercial gun, not so sure about the accuracy. According to my father in law the gun was issued by the Army to his grandfather's brother during WW I. Any chance that can be true?

Not a chance. It's a 1906 model American Eagle model made for the American commercial market. On the "up side" it is fitted out with a pair of American Ideal grips and combination holster/shoulder stock. The Ideal grips and stock are worth a good amount of money alone.
