German Luger Markings help

I have a Luger that has no date on the top of the receiver. I suspect it to be a refinished commercial model, and not particularly collectable. I'm not concerned about it's value, as I love it, and will not be parting with it.
I would like to know a bit more about it's history, and am hoping y'all might have some insight.
So here are some pics. Most fair quality, except the one of the top toggle. That one, . . . I don't know what happened.[:)]
It shoots like a dream. Likes cheap ammunition. Groups exceptionally well, but a bit left windage wise.

As there are no "Crown N" commercial Proof Marks, or "Germany" visible? Difficult to say who assembled and refinished it?
Measure the barrel length. If it was assembled in post W W I Germany. The barrel should be 3 7/8" long. This was one of the provisions, of the Treaty of Versailles. It would be a indication that your Luger is the variation. That is known to collectors as the "1920 Commercial".

Interesting take on the barrel being a Numerich's replacement. I think the grips are Sarco replacement grips.
