I think the luger is an Alphabet Luger - post WW-1 military converted to commercial.

It was originally a military P.08 luger, with a stock lug and numbered small parts.

Doesn't appear to have ever been a Military pistol. No proof or acceptance marks, not all the usual parts are numbered, and those that are have been marked in the commercial locations.To say nothing of the crown over N markings on both barrel and upper. Except for perhaps some special contract orders, all frames were made with the stock lug after mid 1913.

It marked for export with the GERMANY stamp over the front frame

.
The serial number with suffix letter looks like it was stamped with room left for the Germany mark.
