"Commercial Artillery"?

Was at my LGS/Range yesterday, and they had a "Commercial Artillery" in their case. It was a 1916 DWM with a long artillery bbl, maybe 10 or 12 inches, plus two extra bbls, an 8 inch and a 4 inch. Had a cleaning rod, an original looking stock, a couple of holsters, three books ("Imperial Lugers", "Lugers at Random", "Luger Tips"). There was supposedly a box of period ammo, but I couldn't see it in the "pile". All this in a nice glass topped display case. $4,995.

To my uneducated eye, it looked pretty original and unmolested - I should have taken a picture, I will if its still there next time I go.

Were Artillery models sold commercially?
