Laura,
An excellent selection of pictures which, unfortunately, shed no light on the absence of a date stamp. In every other respect this gun appears to be a perfectlyin Ordnung example of a DWM LP-08. The m letter suffix suggests that it was manufactured in 1917, as that is the only year in which Artillery Lugers are reported in this letter suffix range. If you can't find a small GERMANY stamped somewhere--anywhere--on this Luger, it is a puzzle beyond my ken.
From your photograph it appears that the magazine is a legitimate match. Authentic matching Luger magazines are uncommon, and yours adds both value and cachet to this gun If you are interested, an Artillery shoulder stock can be had for $400--$800, depending on circumstances.
An excellent Luger, thanks very much for sharing it.
--Dwight
