Gene, Yes! A handsome pistol. Someone has been drilling and beating on your 32 round Bing snail drum I think! The 3 rivets on the short arm of the fold out lever should be rounded top or at least flush. These look very strange..like someone attempted to drill them out? I don't have one near enough to this serial number to compare but none of mine look anywhere near like this.

Yes..as Norm says the leather carrier is a fantasy piece but I can't remember seeing one marked 1916? They areusually another date..14 or 15 I think. At any rate the germans never manufactured these. They used a canvas bag type.
