Right parabellum and luger any difference?
It was in 1904 that the German Marine adopted the Luger pistol as a regulation side-arm. It asked and obtained some modifications as a longer 150 mm barrel, the addition of an adjustable two position (100 - 200 mm) rear sight and the adaptation of a removable wood board stock bearing a metal disk screwed on the left side. Produced until 1917, the Marine Luger successively underwent all the regular model modifications. The former wooden bottom magazine bore concentrical rings.

3. German commercial receiver and toggle assembly proof. Found on some commercial Lugers, 1900 thru 1908.
4. German commercial proof. Found on some commercial Lugers of the 1906-1914 era. A few Lugers manufactured by Krieghoff have a similar, but small proof.
