I just came into this gun....

And the lower back strap of the handle is grooved as if ready for a clamp-on shoulder stock.

Others with more "smarts" will be along soon. What I see seems to be a 1917 DWM that was property marked with the 1920 code after WWl. The Luger was, apparently, in fairly sad condition, and has been buffed heavily and reblued sometime in the past...when, no idea. The grips are aftermarket. The mag appears to be original, but not matched to this Luger....not uncommon.

Yes, it was made that way; but 4" lugers were not issued/used with stocks by the Germans.

US ATF rules make it illegal to attach a stock to this standard P08 type luger; makes it a "short barreled rifle" and subject registration and tax.
