Post I need help identifying my Luger

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and I need some help identifying my Luger. I inherited my Luger from my grandfather. From what I've been told he brought it back from the WWII European Theatre.
I purchased a book "The Luger Handbook" by Aarron Davis to assist in identifying the Luger, but the markings on the pistol and what was in the book didn't agree completely and I was hoping someone here might be able to help.
I provided link for pictures of the pistol at the end of this post.

Description of the pistol:
Manufacturer: DWM
Toggle Style: New
Barrel: 4"
Caliber: 9mm
Serial Number: 8703 (no suffix)
Marked at the following locations-
1. On the left side of the pistol's chamber in front of the side plate.
2. On the toggle behind the toggle "grips"
3. On the front of the frame below the barrel, in front of the trigger guard.
4. On the bottom the magazine.
(Various places on the pistol are marked with "03")
Trigger Guard: Wide (I believe)
Trigger: Wide (I believe)
Thumb Safety: Safe Down marked GESICHERT
Grips: Black plastic
Magazine: Aluminum
Markings:
1. Crown with N below it. On the underside of the barrel
2. DWM (scroll). In front of the toggle grips. There is a tiny "eagle" to the front of the DWM.
3. "Eagle" with number 53 or 63 below it on the right side of the pistol's chamber.
4. Another "Eagle" with number 63 below it on the right side of the pistol's chamber next to the other "Eagle"
5. A marking similar to a "box with lines fanning out below it" on the right side of the pistol's chamber next to the other "Eagles"
6. A "G" on the top of the chamber.
7. An "S with a starburst" on the bottom of the magazine.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
