Here is the synopsis version;

It is a DWM made gun new in 1921, not a refurbished one (see the Weimar acceptance markings) that went to an Recihswehr (army weimar era) unit as George put it; 3rd Kompagnie, 1st Nachrichten-Abteilung, Waffe 17...an intelligence organization.


At some point it was either very well worn or had some pitting and it was reblued, most likely in the USA.
