Good find. Your 1917 DWM is unit stamped according to 1923 orders (H.Dv. 464).
11.J.R.5.33. signifies: 11th company of Infantry Regiment 5, weapon number 33.

so any ideas on unit info>>or where to find it. How can you tell a rework??from a non-rework. Be patient with me, I am waiting on some books to come in now.
thanks

I have never attempted to trace Weimar Era unit stamps. It should be possible, but might require quite a bit of research.

A very detailed list of all the markings on your Luger (and detailed photographs) would help determine if it is a rework.
