The receiver has a date on it, but I can't read it. That would be the date of mfg. of the receiver, by DWM.
Since it is mismatched, the date is "open", it appears to be from DWM-as there is not a crown/letter on the front of the trigger guard as there is on Erfurt production. Since the frame has a lug, it would date to 1913 or after- though there could be exceptions.
