Need help identifying mark

I checked that "stylised M" on slabstlade under 3x loupe. The more I look at it, the more I feel it's not a single character.

It's monogram "WM", i.e. Waffenfabrik Mauser. Looks very similar to the WM monogram on some rare plastic grip panels of this type of gun.

Let's assume it's "WM". Then, that stamp is more likely being the maker ID of the barrel.

I will take a close picture of that stamp, and a picture of the WM monogram on Mauser grip..... hold on.....

If this is true, then R/W on Luger is also supposed to be parts maker ID.

Grip picture stole from a gun listed on FGS website which has WM monogram grip. This camera .... no matter what I do, it can only perform this.... hopefully good enough:
