Help identifying 1914 DWM...

I have read that many (most?) Wermacht-issued Lugers had unit-identifying markings added.

My pistol has no such. The three "albums" show photos of all the markings on my pistol; there are no others.

Wehrmacht issued Lugers NEVER had unit-identifying marks added. A small percentage of Imperial military Lugers do have unit marks. Typically the earlier the date the higher the percentage that were marked.

"Imperial" being WW I German army?

That's what I meant, WW I era German issue.

Slight brain fart on the "Wehrmacht"...
