Hi Clark, Welcome to the forum.

Any chance you could re-shoot your pictures with sharper details of the places where proof and serial number stampings exist. Particularly the frame, barrel and left and right receiver areas?

Try using a camera with a tripod, closeup setting and use the self timer to eliminate camera shake. Shoot in natural indirect (outdoor shaded) light.

It's very difficult to make out detail in these pictures.

In normal 1915 military accepted DWM pistols, you would expect to see the last digits of the serial number on the side face of the trigger plate and take down lever. I've attached a picture from a 1916 military accepted DWM luger. If I'm not mistaken, your parts are numbered in the commercial style.

On operation... check to make sure that the little plunger on the front end of the sear bar is operating smoothly. Make sure it pushes in and pops back without hanging up. If it feels like it hangs up, clean and lube it.
