1918 is the year of production. Alot of 1918 didnt see battle in ww1 because of the end of the war. apparently it was around after ww1 with the 1920 property mark wich is a proof of german government ownership. if it doesnt have anything on the grip strap it probably wasnt issued to a unit or police. a serial # ( to track date of manufacture , etc with archives) and good pics of all sides and top and grip straps would be needed to give a good opinion (from an expert....not me).
