Max, All Imperial era Lugers, both DWM and Erfurt, were rust blued with small parts in straw. The process required that the interior of the pistol stay in the "white". A quick perusal of your photos indicated a 1916 DWM Luger with small parts blued and all interior surfaces blued. These two factors would indicate a gun that had been completely and improperly reblued.
