According to "Imperial Lugers" by Jan Still, the DWM transition from no-stock-lug to mandatory stock lug on Imperial Lugers occurred in late 1913.

Since some 1914 DWM's were built WITHOUT a stock lug and some 1913 DWM's were built WITH a stock lug, it appears that the transition was not a precise cutover.

Would appreciate hearing from anyone with a 1913 DWM which HAS a stock lug. Interested in the build block. The only ones I have been able to personally view were built in the "b" block, but at least one in the "no suffix" block has been reported.

If you have a 1913 DWM with stock lug, please contact me directly at <lugesm@charter.net> or reply here.

Would appreciate any information you have.

Luke
