Can anyone tell me if this proof mark is authentic?

Hi Tim,

It is a fake mark. Too bad some Yokle ruined a nice Luger. There are collectors who collect "Faked" pistols just as a novelty.

Fake...
DWM 1917 or 1918 on chamber (T S S proof marking)
Some idiot will understand T SS as SS marking...

Now, it has no value at all.
