newbie trying to date a 1917 DWM

I inherited a Luger from my uncle.

so on the front there is a 3 digit serial number with the DWM script on the top. and on all the small parts, I see the last 2 digits stamped here and there.

but on the barrel; on top it says 1917. on the opposite side, is a different 4 digit serial number.

so, as i understand it, the barrel is made in 1917.

is there any way to date the rest of the pistol?

thanks for the help.
