Help needed dating luger

This is my first post here. I'm out of my element with lugers and hope this is the correct place for this question. I'm trying to ballpark a year of manufacture on this poor sorry looking gal for a friend. Story is it spent a long time under water and it looks like it. Very beat up and obviously will never fire, especially with no trigger assembly but it would be nice to get the era correct as it is a family keepsake. No visable marks of any kind including serial number I guess due to corrosion on the pistol except the DWM script on the toggle assembly so no letter to help date the number on the mag. No grip safety.

Serial number on mag is 6582. The mag looks like it spent a long time with the pistol as they both have equal parts of the c**p beaten out of them.

If I could get an approximate year and place of origin he would be happy.

Thanks for any help.
Mike
