Ron, 1912 Militaries did not have stock lugs. They started with late 1913 production. I looked at the single photo of this piece and you cannot tell if it is 7.65mm or not. I would ask the seller for more pictures. If it is 7.65mm, then it was reworked, possibly for export, after WW1. No factory original 1912 DWM's were in 7.65mm. At $800 asking price, it's not too bad of a deal, but I believe that most people would consider it a shooter.
