I don't know that the Germans ground off the chamber date. I have a 1916 DWM that still has her chamber date and even has the Russian capture marks on it from when the Soviets captured her during the Second World War. The East Germans didn't ground off the date either. My guess is that whoever nickel plated you Luger ground off the date for whatever reason.
