Help ID-ing an early luger

[bishop333]

Hello Luger Forum,

Long time fan, first time owner. Just purchased my first Luger on Saturday as I have always wanted one since I saw a Luger 20 years ago in a
collection. Mechanically, I find them very fascinating (taken this one apart 10+ times already!) and they are very unique in their looks.
So my point for this post. I have gone through the data sheets here at LugerForum and even looked up this Luger in the Gun BlueBook but I have not
been able to pin point the what and where of this Luger. I ask on the experts here to please help me determine the details of this Luger. Here is
what I know:

- I believe it is a 1900 Model (early style). Definitely old style with "leaf spring" main.

- 9mm Caliber

- DWM manufacture (see picture below)

- Serial number under frame by barrel in 4552. Also under it is "Germany" and to right is a "heart" emblem (see picture below.

- You name the part they seem to be all matched to number 52. Included both toggle links, breechblock, receiver, grips, etc.

- (Here is where it gets weird) it has an 8 inch barrel that has "9mm" on one side and "Barrel by SS&D" on the other side

- Also different is it has adjustable rear sights on the Rear Toggle Link.

So any input you guys have would be very helpful in determining this Lugers origin.

(side Note: the picture of the rear sight shows it missing the "plate" that has the notch. If anyone knows where I can get one that would be great)
