1910 DWM Commercial???

Well the ENTIRE pistol may be "Matching", except for the rear toggle link with the latch.
Although the frame is a "Model 1908" it does not mean it was made that year. This is the date it was accepted and adopted by the German military, (this is why the Luger is known as a P08). This frame was used up until 1913, when the stock lug was added to the rear grip. So a 1910 upper barrel and rails marked "1910" could be correct on this pistol. Early guns have fewer numbers, which must match. These numbers on most parts were added in later models.
The only part which is quite clearly not original to this pistol is the model 1900 toggle link.
