Pistole 08, DWM 1918, ohne kaiserliche Abnahmen und Beschuss meaning "without imperial markings and no imperial acceptance and no approved by the Kaiser".

The pistol in the link is from 1918 but may be similar history.
These they did NOT sell to the kaiserliche Army because they were not approved and therefore did not have any markings.
Those may be released only to private markets.
Again this is only my deduction what I observe and do not bet on it!
