There isn't much to say about the manufacture date. All we really know is that all the Prussian Contract guns were made between 1916 and 1918. Serial numbers ran up to about 139,000, so the one you're looking at is right in the middle of the range. So 1917 seems a pretty solid guess. By the 65000 range Mauser was putting the Red 9 on the grip panels, and they should have the full serial number on the inside surfaces. If 65xxx is in 9mm and has the 500m tangent sights with the proper low curve on the sight ramp, it's almost certainly a Prussian Contract gun. Skylanders Swap Force Wii Iso Ntsc Mario. (If it has the same sight ramp as 7.63mm guns, then somebody's stuck a 500m sight on a gun which was originally 7.63mm.) If it has the shoulder stock without the wire loop attached to the hinge, even better - stocks with wire loops aren't original Prussian Contract stocks.

What seems to have happened with the '9' grip marking is that early 9mm guns have no indication anywhere that they're chambered in 9mm. The only easy way to distinguish 7.63mm and 9mm guns was by looking at the rear sight. So to make it less likely that the troops would try firing the wrong ammo in a particular gun, the 9mm ones had a conspicuous '9' carved into the grip panels, apparently when the guns came in for depot-level repair.

Those markings are very irregular, sometimes a large '9' in the grooved area, and sometimes a much smaller '9' above the grooved area, but occasionally in more inventive places. At some point Mauser began marking the grip panels at the factory.
