Hi Evren, My theory, for what it's worth, is that this Luger was one of a small lot made by DWM in 1912/13, with a generic crown stamped chamber, in the hope of securing a Turkish order. We could narrow down the production date if we knew whether this gun has a hold-open and stock lug. Regards, Norm
