DWM crown-over-M, grip safety?

My 1906 navy is stamped ww7022 on the backstrap. I've snoped around and read that this would be a property stamp of the imperial navy indicating Wilhelmshaven Werf. Is it possible to find out if it saw service on a vessel, and if so wich one?

Also, if there is only that one property stamp, would this indicate that the pistol was used in ww1, and after the war somehow found its way here to sweden?
If it had been used in ww2, would there have been a second property stamp?
I'm getting more and more intrigued by the gun and this site seems a true wellspring of kind knowledgeble people.

Lastly (for now anyways), why did they stamp two crown-over-m stamps instead of just one?

I hope this is the right place for these questions. Pictures can be viewed in the newcomers section where I was helped identifying it as a navy: http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthread.php?t=25928
