Thanks for the replies! That is the way I was leaning, a 1920 commercial rework of a military luger. In my Firearms Price and Reference Guide it says exported guns were marked "Germany" but guns sold in Germany were not marked. So I guess this gun made it way here after being sold commercialy in Germany. It also mentioned removing of the proof marks which this gun still has. And was the only place I saw mention of a 3.5" barrel which this could be, but if I am measuring it right it is 3 3/4". Also this is the only gun I have noticed here that has a horizonal "crown N" proof mark on the toggle. Is this unusual? I bought the gun to shoot so I don't mind the rebluing but the cost of ammo here is $28 for 50 rds. so I don't think I will be shooting it a whole lot. Thanks for the help!
