Having save 2013 dwg down to R14 for Arcmap.

Open the dwg file in notepad and the version will be on upper left.

 

See this How to find the format of a DWG or which version of AutoCAD was used to create/save a DWG for more information.

Open the drawing in Notepad, look at the first 6 characters. You will see AC followed by 4 digits. Compare thse digits to Internal Version in the chart here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.dwg

Thanks. Who would have thought you needed Notepad for a .dwg file.
