saxman,

Is your Luger a 1911 or 1912?

All of the MILITARY DWM Lugers had the standard mil type serial numbers, 4 digits with or without a suffix, as compared to the 5 digit numbers used on the commercials.

At issue is the placement or location of the last two digits on the small parts, namely the extractor, middle toggle link, trigger plate, and takedown lever. From your description it appears that your Luger is a Military DWM with commercial SN placement.

Can you confirm year of manufacture?

Thanks,
Luke
