Robert, welcome to the forum. To help us, give us more information, suffix on front of frame, marking on toggle, etc.

Although I can guess the toggle is marked DWM and was made in 1916.
Is it 9mm or 30 luger? originally it would have been 9mm, and at some point it was sent to the USA receiving the "germany" export marking (a requirement of the USA, so could also be considered a import marking, except it was applied before coming over here).
