This sight is on a 1912 Erfurt luger. in 1913 the hold open was added and acceptance marked at the location. At the same time the front sight was changed from a 100 to a 50. The witness mark can be seen that locates the blade on the right side. There is also an acceptance stamp from the Erfurt armory (that did the modifications as mandated). It is to the left of the blade and not very visible it would have been a good candidate for highlighting before photographing.
If I do this I use a grease marker made to write on glass it comes off very easily and doesn't damage anything.
