DWM, military luger, year made?

Hello Gun Boss and welcome!

Generally a "sneak" (a term made by dealers & some collectors specifically for some of the DWM switching over to Mauser production, and weren't marked on the toggle, someone correct me if I am wrong).

So if yours has no markings, I would venture to say it is one fo the ones that were put together after the war and so "skipped" the normal proofing / acceptance process. Unless it has been "wiped" clean during a gun-smif re-blue?
