Looking for info on a DWM Luger

You have a Luger/ Pistole08 type first issue, made about early 1909. It was issued to the 9. company of the infantry regiment 42. It was the "first" gun of the 9. Company and was perhaps issued to the Offiziersstellvertreter. This regiment was founded in 1860 and the 9. company was stationed as part of the 2. battalion in Stralsund in the former part of Germany that was called Posen.
Your Luger saw action in the Great War on the Eastern front mostly. It was part of the 3. Infantry Division.
You have got a nice Luger from your grandpa and I hope that you have some fun on it.
Best wishes from Germany
Klaus
