Help needed dating luger

Well, hard to say, if no date on the receiver then it is likely post 1921 but before 1930

Place of origin is DWM factory Germany, they weren't made anywhere else (a few exceptions, but slim that it is one of those)

Curious, found in water, a family mistake or found where?

Even with all the corrosion I'm sure there was never a date stamp on the receiver. Someone told me it might be a very early year before dates were stamped but I have no luger knowledge so don't know fact from fiction at this point. I'm getting the family history soon. Hard to tell fact from fantasy with family stories.

Is the aluminium base mag from later?
