Default I'm new and I need some information please.

I purchased my first Luger today to add to a collection. I like police used pistols mainly. This one, 1915 is quite nice, 97-98% w/90% straw. All numbers match except magazine but it is a period wood based mag. It was a rework adding the sear safety.
it has all the military proof marks on the reciever but while cleaning it, I came across what I think is a ReichAdler mark on the left side of the toggle. I have looked at your luger proof marks and from the one I can identfy with, it's a Mauser toggle mark and this one I have is a DWM. I first thought that sometime during the Nazi time the toggle was replaced but looking at it, I don't think it has. The matching number 11 is still on top. So!!! what are the opinions of you that know more than I do about Lugers?

Much appreciated. I have attached a couple of photo, the best I could do.
