Default DWM 1914 from Italy. another fake?

I'm new to the forum and I'm writing from Italy: I apologize for my poor English.

How did I get here? let's start from the beginning: I always dreamed of touching a Luger and recently I bought P08 1914 DWM from an old collector, not passed off as a rare piece or captured by an officer, so much so that I was sold together with other pieces (including a bomische cz27) at a price that I consider paltry.
I tried to document myself asking for opinions on social media, probably the fastest way, but as often happens, conflicting opinions have emerged about the originality of this 1914. Mind you, criticism is welcome, but an explanation to a neophyte whom I am, would also welcome.

The general condition as you will see in the picture, worn, bruised, scratched, rusty, and I like it, lived, like presenting a gun that has served in 2 wars.

In any case, I would be grateful to all of you if you could express your opinions and give me clarifications regarding the authenticity of the components and perhaps history.

I searched on the precious indications present in the forum database and I noticed that the pantograph-engraved totenkopf is present in the archive reported as reworking on imperial lugers in the Nazi era but I did not find photos to make comparisons.
