Yoda,
Shattuck did not publish his variation listing in a book. In the early 1970s he provided his lists to such publications as "Guns & Ammo Annual" and "Arms Gazette". His lists were in a different format than the tables on this forum, so perhaps he is not the origin of the information shown.

As you have described it, your Luger is rather enigmatic. Unless the barrel has been sleeved and rechambered for the .32 automatic cartridge and the magazine highly modified to accept that round it is more than likely the caliber is actually 7.65mm Parabellum (.30 Luger). The serial number, 68370, places the gun well after the 1906 Commercial range which did not go much beyond 39000. Is there a stock lug on your Luger? If so it could be the frame of a quite scarce 1913 commercial, but the combination of a 4 3/4-inch barrel and .30 caliber is not consistent with that model.

If at all possible, photos of your gun would be most appreciated and help properly identify it.
Thank you,
Ron

What does a stock lug look like?

Ron,

Sorry, no stock lugs. I even took off one of the grips to make sure that they were not covered up by the grips.

Thanks
