The name engraved on the backstrap has no"e" in it. It would not likely be any of the individuals mentioned below.

Brian,
Just a bit of info on the name "M. Huebsch"...the 1914 Rangliste shows only a Reservist Lt Schmitz-Huebsch (44 Fld Arty Regt) in the Imperial Army of 1914. The German Graves Registration has twelve men named M.Huebsch none of whom were officers. The Offizier Ehrenliste 1914-1918 does list one officer named Huebsch. He was an Oblt. (First Lieutenant) in Infantry Regiment 87. He may be your man.

I have a 1914 commercial like yours that is serial numbered 73982 and marked on the front grip strap with the name"NEUFVILLE". I believe that both pistols were probably made in 1914-1915.
