My very first Luger was an Alphabet DWM commercial from 1923 or 4 in the "M" block. They are representative of an interesting era in Luger production, and one that kept DWM and the Loewe group factory quite busy after WW-I during a very inflationary era in Germany.
The small parts are not as extensively or visibly marked on these commercial Lugers. I haven't audited your photos, but things appear in order and complete.
Flash photography washes out the rust blued finish, making it difficult to judge for originality. The best photographs are done on a neutral background in shaded natural light with a camera that can focus on detail. Even then, finish can be hard to judge. From what I can make out it looks right.
An aged rust blued finish and the look of small strawed parts have an appearance that is unmistakable when you view enough of them. Also look for the natural halos around stamped serial numbers on the barrel.
