1929 DWM 9mm Police

[Edward Tinker]

Dave welcome.

You are about right on the date, but it's mainly pure luck. This is a police model. See the sticky that says how to I'd a Luger in the new collectors area.

Pictures would help to verify.

This is if I remember a rural police, magesburg (sp) -someone will come along and correct me.
L means rural and then city and then the weapons number (206)

It should have a sear safety (see FAQ), does it have a mag safety?

I would have to see what you mean by the action. Do you mean you push back on barrel and it goes back anout 3/4 of an inch or so? That is normal...

There is a technical section here that has links on YouTube or just go to google and type in YouTube disassembly Luger...

That's what I thought, too, but I didn't find any links to the YouTube videos, looking in Links&resources, technical info, and Luger videos. Maybe I'm having a "senior moment".

Why does everybody and their brother shove the barrel and hold it back by pushing it against something while rotating the takedown lever? 1) insert empty mag 2) pull the action all the way back, the holdopen will hold it back 3(remove empty mag 4)rotate takedown lever 5)remove side plate 6)controlled release of action, de-cocking on the way 7)slide the upper forward and off. Less wear and tear on library selections and table tops around the house!
