John,
as far as I know the Lugers made by DWM for the French commercial market have a "fleur de lys" stamp on the chamber. This stamp was typical of the Saint-Etienne city, well known in French for the gun industries. The pistol shown doesn't have this stamp.
I am not so expert in this luger variation so I stop here my consideration.
I hope this helps.
Ciao
