So far I would say it is a WW1 era DWM (has a stock lug) that had the date ground off (see top of receiver), the "germany" stamp applied (first time I have seen one stamped there), and sold to the outside market, most likely in the USA in the 1920's or 1930's.

There may be a vestiage of a suffix under the sn number (or a suffix), although each year during WW1 there were ones made that had no suffix (numbering started over).
