No, sorry, you are a bit off track?

Commericial lugers were made through the 1920's and part of the 1930's for export sale. Yours has a stock lug so it was made after 1913.

Being a parts gun makes it difficult to figure out. I can't figure out the markings on the left, even after blowing them up. A commercial marked luger would normally have a crown N on it, left side usually.

Also, the 24 by the DWM is the last two of a serial number, so if yours doesn't end in 24, then its a mismatched part.
