Beat up 1911 DWM. Rework???

What gave it away most obviously to me was the lack of strawed parts like trigger, mag release, and the like. Also saw it in the pitting. Mauser didn’t start dip bluing Lugers until 1937, DWM and Erfurt Models only rust blued.

The mag release and ejector are strawed, just very dark/dirty from corrosion and age. The trigger shows no signs of bluing inside or out
