An interesting photo. As for being "for sure DWM" the side plate is from an Erfurt P08. The serial number placement pattern is military while it has a commercial proof; this combination could indicate 1920/21 production. The three marks on the side rail are curious as the center stamp looks to be Swedish. The little Weimar type eagle with what looks like SS runes throws the legitimacy of the whole thing into question in my mind.
