Just in case you are unfamiliar with the term "Schupo" that Don mentioned, it is a popular abbreviation for "Schutzpolizei" or "protection police" in post-WWI Germany. It was roughly equivalent to what we would call state police today.

I believe it is safe to say the upper and lower are mismatched as a 1912 dated DWM would have a smooth backstrap (without a stock lug) Frame could be Erfurt since the trigger and magazine catch are so marked.
