Your Luger is a military issue pistol... not commercial. Commercial Lugers are not date stamped. Some military Lugers - Portuguese, Swiss for example - are not date stamped but a 1916 DWM would have been issued to the Imperial German military.

The military proofs and visible serial numbering also give it away.
