pete, welcome to the forum!
yes, it appears to be a 1920's era commerical, made for USA import (germany stamping). It has a Crown N on the left? anywhere else? ed

I agree with Howard. The grips are modern aftermarket, but the checkering looks like it was done by convicts with nail files. If you want that beautiful wood to match the rest of your Luger, send the grips off to Hugh Clark to be refinished and recheckered in the correct pattern. Those grips do have beautiful grain in them... most likely walnut... but whoever checkered them was a rank amatuer... A really nice looking commercial. Congrats on the acquisition.

From the photos that you posted here and over on the leverguns forum, it appears that the holster is a modern reproduction. The luger looks to be nice and should be great fun to shoot. I second the motion to send the grips to Hugh Clark to have them re-checkered; he does fantastic work!!! Congratulations!!!

It appears to be a commonly seen aftermarket mag. I can't remember the maker, possibly Triple K in Mexico.

You are correct that the type of "knobs" on the luger magazine shown are in the Navy pattern, but they Navy didn't issue this type of mag bottom in plastic. So if they are plastic, they are probably Mec-Gar mags.
