American Eagle Luger, model 1900?

After all this discussion and flow of information, I had to take the pistol apart again, this time looking closely for markings. I did find the "flying bomb" on the receiver, right in front of the locking lug. It's about 2 millimeters. There's also one inside the frame, just behind the position of the locking bolt. Will this increase the chances of this gun being one of the 1000 test Lugers? Also, the inside of the sideplate is stamped with a W (or M).

Jammed in between the backstrap and the main springs there was this shiny little piece of metal. I'm guessing that the genius who drilled it to 9mm found the recoil a bit hefty and increased the spring tension with this little piece of metal. Or is it supposed to be there?

Thanks!
