Tell me what i have

You have a gun with some interesting history. The EWB carved into the grip indicate that the gun was once issued to a Bavarian para-military, pro-Nazi unit in the late 1920s. The exact name from the german, I can't recall right now (Senior Moment!), but I think it was something like, "Erwache Wehr Bayern" which loosely translates to Awake, Armed Bavaria.

Can you tell me what markings are on the toggle, if the serial numbers match and any other markings on the metal portions. Per centage of original bluing would be nice to know.

Hope this helps.
