Thanks, Stu, Ed...

Yes, the pistol is a 1918 with the 1920 "double-date" on it. The markings are the standard, and I quote my best info to date " german military receiver proof. Found on DWM lugers 1914-1918"
No add markings were noticed upon initial inspection.
All parts appear to be matching, less the lever on the right side, below the barrel. it is one number off.
The bluing is off a bit, but the metal looks to be very nice.
The wooden grips are worn on the bottom, in the front pretty good on the "inside" grip, anyway. Most of the wear seems to be holster-derived.
This is a full rig, by the way, the holster says "1918 Berkhard" on it. It's rough, but complete, and flexible still.

Thanks,

Keith
