New to Lugers, may have a DWM on my hands?

The side plate profile looks unusual,

Please photograph the entire pistol left and right, the muzzle from the front and the top toggle train areas.

Is there a marking near your thumb in the last photo?

Is the receiver slightly proud (in front of) the frame in the front of the pistol near the serial number?

Do you mind elaborating on the bold parts of the quote? Not exactly sure what they are/mean.

I will try to get the chamber, is there a way to get the slide, or toggle (not sure the correct term for a Luger) to lock back without a magazine?

And eventually the picture links will disappear and this thread will be meaningless.

Will do! Was unaware of that
