Commercial Luger ID Mystery

The 7.65x120mm barrel and front sight are typical of the M1906 lugers. The none grip safety frame with the horizontal C/N proofing is more typical of that used from 1914 - 1918. Since the serial on the frame & barrel appear to be matching but out of sequence for the period, I would suspect some sort of contract or special order production. TH

The fonts do look like DWM but are not unique enough to determine age. I do see a relieved sear bar and if original would date it post 1916.

What is that on the back of the toggle just above the SN?

Also, is the sear bar serialized?
