1910 DWM Luger

[kalashnikov47]

Thanks for all the input guys.
I really believe based upon what I have learned about lugers that the finish is original. all the parts on the inside are still left in the white and the parts that should be are strawed. Upon close examination of the stampings they do not look like they would if they had been reblued. Thanks Bill I will certainly make sure that if I put any wool on it that it is 0000. If you guys need any additional pictures please feel free to let me know.
Oh another thing....I bought this from the pawn shop where my wife worked and one day she called me and said that they had just received this Luger, a P38, and Colt 1911, all from the same person. well needless to say that they had the P38 priced at 350 (I got it for 300) they thought it was a post war P1...turns out its
a Nazi stamped CYQ with original finish, not import stamps and a JVD stamped mag....$300 (I immediately recognized it as such and not the P1 as I already had a P1) , cant beat that....as for the Colt...its all correct serial number 36xxx dating 1916 original finish and two tone mag...came with what may well be a correct holster but it doesnt have a date that I've seen, got that for $875...i think thats pretty good too... So all this adds to the fact that Im confident that the finish is original. I will do my best to preserve all these great pieces of history...
