Dear Mr. ampickle,
Look again at the 1910 DWM that you are trying to figure out. For this date Luger, the take down lever and side plate should be numbered on the bottom in the Commercial fashion. Also, it was manufactured without a holdopen mechanism which accounts for the fact that the bolt will not stay open on an empty magazine. Most Lugers of this vintage were altered to add the holdopen, but some escaped this modification and this may be one of them.
