Looks really nice for a nearly 110 year old pistol.
I'd say that your guess is pretty close and after looking at Goetz & Sturgess, 1912 would be my guess. Commercial production of the 1908 began with serial number 39100. In 1913 the police in Metz, under direct army control, began acquiring commercial 1908 Lugers in the low 60000 serial number range.

The subject pistol is serial 56698 and likely made in 1912.
