1920 Commercial Luger - needs confirmation

Welcome to the forum, this is what I see.

You have a commercial model made in the late 1920's for the US market (German stamped was an exporter marking for the USA market), the letter on the front of the frame is part of the serial number.

In our book, we have 2858 but the suffix is 'u' (totally diff gun I know), but just funny to see)

The suffix looks like a 'O' to me - so it would be made around 1926-1927 in my opinion.

All the 'hidden' numbers should match the last two of the serial number, sideplate, takedown, several other parts...
