Here's what I know so far from browsing this site for the last three days:

Pistol was made by DWM, under German Military Contract.
Has military barrel proof and receiver proof.
Receiver inspection/acceptance stamps are S E S
Magazine is WWI, DWM Military and by the “+” means it’s a spare mag. S/N doesn’t match the pistol.
I have no idea about the holster.

Questions:
What does S E S mean on the right side receiver?
There are no import marks. Can I assume this was a bring-back?
There is a J engraved in the right side grip. I assume this was done after the pistol left the service?
What would be the approximate value of this pistol?
Value of holster?
Would you consider this a collector or shooter? I do plan to shoot it. Do I need to take it apart for this question to be answered?

Thanks!
