Kaleo,

DWM exported these to the USA in the 1920s. Export guns have "Germany" stamped on the receiver like the stamp on the base of your magazine.

Before you take it out to shoot it, double check that you have the correct ammunition.

It is very likely chambered in .30 Luger rather than 9mm Luger.

You can test it by taking a number 2 pencil. If it fits down the barrel, it is 9mm Luger. If the barrel is too small, it's probably .30 Luger (a bottle neck shaped cartridge).

Both ammo sizes will fit in the magazine.

Marc
