I may be in the "minority" but I'm not at all convinced that Mauser made any "important" changes to their production. Folks talk about "metallurgy", and the names and specs put out by Mauser sound impressive- but are not that much different from DWM materials.
JMHO.

Depending on the date on the Mauser luger, it could be 18 or 26 years "newer" than the 1916 DWM, and have had a much shorter and "easier" service life.
