Rear toggle sights are relatively common on 1920 era artillery and carbine Lugers. They are not needed but must have been in the original assemblers parts kit.
In that period of time the prime objective was to produce as many pistols as possible before the Versailles Treaty rules were imposed. In 1921 when the IMKK rules were imposed a very limited number of military weapons could be manufactured for the German Army and police.
Under the IMKK rules DWM only produced commercial Luger in .30 caliber with 3 7/8 inch barrels.
