Thanks a lot Don. Yes, the toggle does bear the DWM inscription.
Based on Aarron Davis's "The Luger Handbook," I had been thinking perhaps it's a 1906 Commercial or Navy model (which is why I chose this forum). They apparently also had serials in the 8000s.
Does the short and squatty crown mean anything? It seems like most of the pictures I've seen bear a taller, more slender crown than mine.
thanks,
michael
