DWM, military luger, year made?

Hi 50megawatts,

The "K" date that is referred to, as it applies to Third Reich Lugers, means the Mauser produced Luger was made in 1934. The Germans used secret codes for the dates on Lugers and other arms in 1934 and 1935. The code was "G" for 1935. In 1936 the Germans started stamping the entire 4 digit date on the armaments that had been previously "coded".

I am not really familiar with pre-Third Reich Lugers so I can't comment on the rest of your question. Sorry.

Regards, Leon
