Info Needed on 1902 Luger Carbine

I need some info and help on a 1902 (Pre WW I) Luger Carbine (German Made) Stamped DMW (Not Swiss Stamped) in 30 Cal. I can't seem to determine form any of the books that have been written (not that I have that many reference books on these pistols) if this carbine model is an "American Eagle Version" or not? It is all original with stock and even has the original carry case. Magnificent if I do say so! It also has the grip safety (as the Luger Books state it should have, to be an "Am. Eagle Version"), but it is not stamped in the upper part of the receiver with the eagle stamp, just DMW. It is definitely not a military version which to my understanding, the military versions were all stamped with the eagle. I guess my real question is, were all these Luger Carbines models marked with the "Eagle" stamp on the receiver or was that just the military versions that were marked as such? What have I got???? Is it an "American Eagle" and just the commercial version or what????

Any help from you Luger experts out there would be most appreciated.
